Pitirim A. Sorokin e la "sociologia positiva": l'amitologia

The social sciences often chase the operationalization of the social and human being losing sight not only of their pe¬culiar objects of study but also of their aim of serving humanity.

Sorokin had an intuition synthesizable in the following state¬ment: the future of humanity and its development is in the hands of humanity itself. Change must start from the rediscovery of the positive values of man, and science acts as a guide (posi¬tive sociology), also by overcoming strictly sensuous knowledge models
