Some edifying notes and curious writings for the use by those who want to think the world as it is

Abstract

In this proposal for reflection, Maffesoli speaks of the work that goes beyond the author through which it is expressed. Here the claim of comprehensive approach, one that betrays, instead of reducing a pre-established system. The author deals with the presentation, below or beyond the representation of two assumptions that have been “dictated” by the force of things: a mystical conception of the social and emphasis about the data, which isthere before every human action. It also features two key impressions that permeate his work, the desire to be the surface and depth. In criticizing dogmatism and propose that the words become words to conduct a proper relationship with alterity, Maffesoli brings text for meditation of, he said, some “happy few” who wants to think about the world as it is.
