This book offers a novel critical theory that addresses the multidimensional crisis of late modernity: life acceleration, social alienation, and disconnection from the environment. Through their respective theoretical conceptions, the authors explore the dynamics of contemporary society and propose alternative horizons to overcome stagnation. An essential work for understanding the challenges of our time and reflecting on new ways of relating to the world and to others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work is structured as a profound dialogue between two complementary perspectives. Andreas Reckwitz presents his theory of practice and analyzes the mechanisms that define late-modern society, characterized by a logic of constant acceleration and optimization. For his part, Hartmut Rosa develops his original \"sociology of world-relations,\" identifying alienation as a central pathology and proposing \"resonance\" as a way to reconnect with the social and natural environment. Together, they diagnose the stagnation of a frantic and disconnected life, and outline an alternative social horizon that aims to overcome the current ecological, political, and existential crises.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCritical diagnosis of late modernity and its multidimensional crises.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eTheory of practice and analysis of contemporary social mechanisms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSociology of world-relations and the concept of alienation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eProposal of resonance as a therapy to overcome social pathologies.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSearch for alternative horizons for social organization and connection with the environment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at students and professionals in sociology, political philosophy, and the social sciences, as well as readers interested in contemporary critical theory.
