Classical and contemporary sociology and social theory are mobilized to recover a robust theory capable of going beyond recurrent empirical, and therefore weaker, perspectives in emancipatory thought. Everything from topics such as collective subjectivity and social creativity, history and sociology, analytical concepts and trend-concepts, social existential questions, the role of equal freedom and of immanent critique, secularization, capitalism, the modern state, 'populism' and the family, and the meaning of citizenship, to authors such as Marx, Weber, Bhaskar, Habermas, Laclau, Sousa Santos and Negri, is discussed.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><strong>José Maurício Domingues</strong>, PhD in sociology (LSE), is professor at the Institute of Social and Political Studies (IESP-UERJ, State University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), and author of several books on the subject of Sociology: <em>Global Modernity, Development, and Global Civilization</em> (Routledge, 2012), <em>Latin America and Contemporary Modernity</em> (Routledge, 2018), <em>Modernity Reconstructed</em>(University of Wales Press, 2006), <em>Social Creativity, Collective Subjectivity and Contemporary Modernity</em> (Macmillan/Saint Martin's Press, 2000) and <em>Sociological Theory and Collective Subjectivity</em> (MacMillan/Saint Martin's Press, 1995).</p>
