I have simply taken up the task of clarifying certain truths and making your people aware of certain cold and hard mathematical equations, which will add up in the end to disaster and which cannot be changed by beliefs, prayers nor by soap operas broadcast over your video-nets."

| | | 3 | My name is Carlos Allones Pérez, I was born on the 14th of April 1955, in Spain. I studied Physics for two years in Santiago University and later I did a degree in Political Science and Sociology in the Complutense University of Madrid. Nowadays I work as a Assistant Lecturer of Sociology in Santiago de Compostela University. I am primarily interested in the Theory of Social Action and in the social relationship between the Family and Capitalism. I believe that the Summary of my book and the two articles included on this web page are a representative sample of my activities and aspirations in Sociology. |
| | | 4 | This book on Sociology consists of three parts. In the first we study the relationships that are established on the parade grounds of a barracks between soldiers and sergeant during the practice of Military Drill, as if we were dealing with a laboratory case: ...............
...............
............... x
...............
...............
In the second and third part we will apply the analytical method that we have elaborated here to the study of the family and capitalism. |
| | | 5 | Keywords: sociology, sociological theory, social action, Durkheim, Weber, laboratory case, military drill, politics, linguistics, form, contents. In this article the study of a laboratory case will allow us to establish the distinction between form and content in the analysis of human relations. This distinction will enable us to understand what all of these relations have in common and what lies behind their fascinating diversity. It will also make possible their scientific understanding which can be applied to any place or time. |
| | | 6 | Keywords: sociology, sociological theory, family, capitalism, mother/son, neurology, linguistics, Ettore Majorana, sapiens, gender, incest, Oedipus. Due to the prolongation in the infancy of human offspring the females were required to devote all their attention to the rearing of offspring. This left the males, and only them, in charge of hunting. Such a division of social functions produced, over millions of years, a revolution in their respective biological systems. This created such differences that the 'Sapiens', in order to survive, had to put the rearing of the male child also under male control and had to create the systems of kinship, of which the family is nothing more than one particular variety.However, now, capitalism is going to break all this up. In the long term it is going to break up all the previous forms of heterosexual relationships and those for the rearing of children. Consequently, the human animal will have to face a political and linguistic crisis which has no equivalent in its natural history. |
| | | 7 | Keywords: Theory of social action, Form, Content, Simmel, Classics, General Sociology, General empirical principle, Statistical Regularity. In 1908 George Simmel challenged German Academic Sociology when he proposed that the distinction between form and content was a fundamental prerequisite in order to set up Sociology as a Science. However, the difficulty in delving into and elaborating these concepts (in which Simmel himself failed) has caused many later authors to abandon that distinction, minimizing its importance. On the other hand, studying Military Drill, as if it were a laboratory case, we have found a way to respond to that sociological challenge. We have succeeded in producing a rigorous formal theory that implies a generally valid statistical principle that can be applied to all other social contents. |
| | | 8 | Ettore Majorana "The disintegration of an atom is a simple event. It is unpredictable, happens in isolation, and after a wait of sometimes thousand or up to millions of years. In contrast, nothing similar happens in the events registered by social statistics. This is not, however, an insuperable objection. The disintegration of a radioactive atom can force an automatic counter, possessing an adequate amplifier, to register it with a mechanical effect. We then only need some common laboratory artifices to prepare in one way or another a colourful and complex chain of phenomena, which are controlled by the accidental disintegration of a single radioactive atom. Nothing exists from a strictly scientific point of view to prevent us from accepting as plausible that the origin of human occurrences could also be found in some fundamental event similarly simple, invisible and unpredictable. If this is so, and we believe that it is so, the role of statistical laws in social sciences will be seen to increase. Their role will not only be that of empirically establishing the result of a large number of unknown causes. It will rather be to provide, above all, a concrete and immediate testimony of reality. The interpretation of this testimony will require a special art, one that is not precisely secondary to the art of government." |
