La teoría orteguiana de la acción social
Theodor Abel ha escrito que «una ciencia progresa cuando mantiene constante su atención sobre sus propias incertidumbres o, si se prefiere, sus propios misterios.El más importante de ellos radica en la misma esencia de su objeto.Así, la física se preocupa por el misterio del núcleo, la biología por el de la vida y la psicología por el de la mente o la conciencia.El misterio que aborda la sociología es el de la naturaleza de lo social (...)

From the Apocalypse to the Revolution
The revolutionary desire to realize the Kingdom of God is the beginning of modern history. Friedrich Schlegel The world has to be purified, recreated. Anatolij Lunačarskij Ubi Lenin, ibi Israel. Ernst Bloch Socialism is the religion that will kill off Christianity. Antonio Gramsci
The Cultural War between Athens and Jerusalem
In an article published in May 2011 in Avvenire, the official newspaper of the Catholic Church, Flavio Felice, director of the Centro Tocqueville-Acton, called American constitutionalism the “child of Christianity.” This is a widely held theory,1 but so contrary to known historical facts that Farrell Till had no hesitation in denouncing it as a myth.2
Fascism, capitalism, modernity
In this article I respond to the important questions raised by Roger Griffin and David D. Roberts by asserting the following points. First, that there is no justification to the position that the historical function of fascism was to establish the political hegemony of finance capital, as Marxist-Leninist scholars have maintained without providing a shred of evidence in support of their position. On the contrary, fascism was an epochal phenomenon…
Revolutionary Apocalypse
Contends that the historical failure of the Communist system is the logical result of men who regarded revolution as their calling and who seek destruction of the existing world to clear the way for a new world paradise
Methodological Individualism
The central postulate of sociology is that coexistence among people generates a series of norms which determine behavior. Although the products of social interaction, these norms have considerable autonomy in relation to particular individuals and exercise a constant pressure on them. The discovery of these norms and their importance by the anti-individualist tradition led Schumpeter to write that “in sociology one does not go very far with indiv…
The Cultural War between East and West
In one of his last interviews, Claude Levi-Strauss wrote: “I have recently begun to think, about how our culture attacks other cultures which, as a consequence, I have defended. Now I think that the trend has been reversed and our culture is on the defensive vis à vis external threats, especially the Islamic threat. Suddenly, I feel ethnologically and strongly defensive of my culture.” These words encapsulate the global conflict involving incompa…
Preconditions for Soviet Economic Development
In a television speech broadcast May 27, 1990 Gorbachev sent a message to the Soviet people which essentially claimed: “Only the market can save us.” He argued “The market is necessary for radically reforming our economy, for paving the way for enterprises, for the economic independence of worker collectives and of every worker and citizen.... The introduction of the market has to create conditions that reward those who work well and productively…
Reply to Guy Oakes
Oakes' criticism of my “Weber and the Myth of Calvinism” is both surprising and predictable. “Surprising,” because Oakes still has no doubts concerning the validity of Weber's thesis. “Predictable,” because Weberians have always followed Oakes' approach in responding to criticism. First used by Ernst Troeltsch against Felix Rachfahl, and by Talcott Parsons and Julien Freund against H. M. Robertson and Herbert Luthy, it consists in claiming that c…
Weber and the Myth of Calvinism
Many sociologists believe that much of the criticism against Weber's well-known thesis concerning the Protestant ethic “derives from a misunderstanding or an inadequate knowledge of the Weberian method.” It is advisable, therefore, to briefly summarize Weber's intentions in the words of one of his staunchest supporters: “Weber's problem was to understand how the capitalist entrepreneur's new mode of behavior could develop. His answer is that the …
Ortega's Theory of Social Action
Sociology came into being when its “founding fathers” saw what had remained hidden in the past, i.e., that man is a “social animal” in a sense much more profound than even Aristode thought: he is a social animal not only because he lives in continual “commerce” widi his peers, but also because society lives in him as a cultural tradition. In odier words, sociology was born out of the “revolt against individualism” accompanied by die realization m…
Revolution and Legitimacy
Twenty years ago Julien Freund wrote: “We should be grateful to Guglielmo Ferrero for having once again drawn the attention of political science to the importance of the notion and principles of legitimacy, the fight for which, in his view, constituted the invisible basis of history.” Freund's gratitude was a little premature. Political science — above all American political science — continues to ignore Ferrero. Even the renewed interest in the …
Il Partito «diverso
IntroduzioneLa tesi centrale di Peter Mair è che esiste una diversità ontologica fra quello che egli chiama il partito convenzionale e il partito rivoluzionario. Mair giustamente fa derivare tale diversità — che è una vera e propria contrapposizione — da una divergenza di ordine filosofico. Il partito rivoluzionario è l'istituzionalizzazione di un progetto etico-politico profondamente divergente da quello che ispira il partito convenzionale. Esso…
Verso Il Superamento Del Pluralismo Polarizzato
IntroduzioneNel suo recente saggioRivisitando il≪pluralismo polarizzato ≫Giovanni Sartori ripropone, aggiornandola, la sua nota interpretazione del sistema politico italiano. Tale interpretazione era stata avanzata fra il 1965 e il 1968 in quattro scritti, ove era formulata una nuova tipologia dei sistemi di partito. All'interno di questa era elaborata l'originale categoria analitica del ≪ pluralismo polarizzato ≫ sotto cui era sussunto il nostro…
Mobilitazione Sociale E Crisi Rivoluzionaria
IntroduzioneIn questo saggio mi propongo di analizzare il meccanismo socio-psicologico che può determinare una crisi rivoluzionaria, cioè un acuto squilibrio tra il flusso degli inputs e il flusso degli outputs, eliminabile solo con una radicale trasformamazione del regime politico. L'ipotesi centrale dalla quale muovo è che, perché una società sia integrata, è necessario un notevole grado di sintonia fra le strutture, le istituzioni e le mentali…
