How can we restore fundamental values on a political and cultural level? Taking this question as a starting point, the book identifies the notion of sociological imagination as a suitable method to address the widespread disorientation within the human and social sciences. In particular, the three essays included in this volume, focuses on the role of sociology as a tool to analyse the socio-political effects and consequences produced by the loss of structural beliefs. While exploring the difficulties we face in an age of ethical uncertainty, the books offers different perspectives on the interpretation of social phenomena and suggests a fascinating vision of how to re-imagine our representation of reality .
