HUMANISTIC-SOCIAL SCIENCES - A POSSIBLE SOLUTION TO THE IDENTITY CRISIS OF THE CONTEMPORARY SOCIAL SPACE

Summary/Abstract: The fact that Globalization has caused different identity crises cannot be challenged either by social scientists or by individuals lacking the slightest expertise in the field. But, unlike those who believe that the process of global homogenization could be the solution of these crises, we advocate, in the Gustian style of Militans Sociology, for the exploration of alternative solutions, depending on the collective mentalities of the various communities: European, Asian, African etc. So, we advance the hypothesis that these crises can have solutions provided that social sciences put them into the epistemological equation, with the specific analysis methods, techniques and tools and formulate real-time intervention solutions. Thus, besides the social sciences that have been limited so far to define the problems and make them a radiography the involvement of all social sciences is expected by formulating solutions, depending on community projects and on the specifics of collective mentalities existing in the local, zonal and national profile. Social sciences can provide qualified counselling for decision-makers, helping them to stop deciding based on impressionist opinions.
