This paper describes the sequence of actions that led to the choice of writing the book on Sorokin "Social and Cultural dynamics. Revisiting the work of Pitirim A. Sorokin". A choice based on the need to express our idea about the role and functions of human and social sciences, and not just to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Sorokin's death. Social sciences, in chasing the operationalization of social and human beings, have lost sight not only of their peculiar objects of study, but also of their purpose for humanity and to re-affirm the role of service to the humanity of sociology and other human and social sciences. Indeed, this journey does not lack in insights and raids into other sciences, such as psychology and in particular cultural psychology.

Abstract
This paper describes the sequence of actions that led to the choice of writing the book on Sorokin "Social and Cultural dynamics. Revisiting the work of Pitirim A. Sorokin". A choice based on the need to express our idea about the role and functions of human and social sciences, and not just to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Sorokin's death. Social sciences, in chasing the operationalization of social and human beings, have lost sight not only of their peculiar objects of study, but also of their purpose for humanity and to re-affirm the role of service to the humanity of sociology and other human and social sciences. Indeed, this journey does not lack in insights and raids into other sciences, such as psychology and in particular cultural psychology.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
