Abstract: (194 Views)
Adriana Scribano's book «The Sociology of Hope: A New Theory» (2025) examines the sociology of hope and proposes a new fundamental theory of hope, taking into account the classical theoretical traditions of sociology, the perspective of the founding women of the field, and also reconstructing the contributions of theories of revolution, utopia, social change, and collective action. In this book, by introducing the main elements of the sociological view of hope, Scribano attempts to provide, from a critical perspective, theoretical and methodological tools for understanding and changing the social world. Throughout the various chapters, she attempts to develop a theoretical structure that allows the reader to understand how the sociology of hope is a science of life. He also presents the main theoretical and epistemological elements for establishing the connection between ethics, aesthetics, the politics of knowledge and their current profound changes in the study of society, and concludes the book with an ontological, theoretical, and epistemological proposal for the development of a sociology of hope.
