Marking the 50th
th anniversary of Pitirim A. Sorokin’s
death, this Brief offers a critical analysis of the renowned
sociologist’s theories while highlighting some of his more
overlooked ones. Topics explored include cultural dynamics; the
relationship between culture, society, and personality; social
mobility; and the socio-cultural causality of time and space. In
addition, this book updates these theories by discussing their
relevance in current cultural contexts. The Brief aims to extend
the work started by Sorokin on the promotion and application of
“integralism”, an approach that conceives the change of any
sociocultural phenomena as the result of the combination of
external and internal forces. It uses this method to analyse
socio-cultural phenomena, propose new policy, and enhance the
development of humanity from the point of view of culture.

This book also discusses sociology’s relationship with other
sciences. In particular, it touches upon the interplay between
sociology and psychology and pushes for a new scientific
awareness that is transdisciplinary. The end point is a new
vision of humanity and its development from a cultural context.
