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. To describe this we decided to do a journey through the Sorokin’s concept of altruistic creative love as a prelude to birth of a new science: the amitology. 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.

Abstract
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. To describe this we decided to do a journey through the Sorokin’s concept of altruistic creative love as a prelude to birth of a new science: the amitology. 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.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
