Resumen de Ancora una volta: cos'è la politica?
According to Franco Rositi, in this historical moment, the task of sociology is to think about the rules of a “good” public communication and about the reasons depriving politics of a language accepting others´ ideas and discussing one´s own in a convincing way so that deceit, ideological mystification and propagandist inventions are the shared lexicon. In the essays analysed here, the author proposes not only a reflection on defining a conceptual framework to link sociological study and research to concepts and meanings as far as possible from misunderstanding, but also a real ethical call about the necessity of defining the communicative rules of public language to guarantee a shared rationality where the arbitrary and vague traits of language correspond to arbitrary and vague traits of behaviour, in particular in the political context.
