Il semplice fatto di nascere implica che si abbia bisogno d’educazione. Ma ciò a sua volta cosa comporta? Una questione che merita di essere approfondita, valorizzando il ruolo della cultura e delle scienze, verso una nuova progettualità educativa.

Working towards a «sociology of the person» and «for the person» is the fundamental inspiration and programmed purpose of the SPE group. In this sense, the concept of «person» is the foundation and aim of a study that seeks to be primarily both scientific and critical. The following document, or manifesto, is intended as a stimulus for reflection on ourselves, to reopen the debate on the centrality of the person, both with reference to the nature of sociology, in its epistemological state, as well as in reference to the capacity to interpret and maybe even tackle the main challenges of today: it is the latest stage of a path began in 1994 that is certainly not over.
