La sociologia di Friedrich H. Tenbruck è una “sociologia dell’antisociologia” che si fonda sul ruolo determinante che la cultura gioca con maggior evidenza nella vita sociale della tarda modernità. Mentre la sociologia dominante si preoccupa solo di una “reificazione naturalistica dei fatti sociali” e manifesta disprezzo per il carattere culturale dell’azione umana, secondo Tenbruck l’uomo si distingue dagli altri esseri viventi per il fatto di conferire un significato soggettivo al suo comportamento, così che la realtà non equivale a una collezione di dati sensoriali, ma a un universo di oggetti dotati di senso. Il concetto di cultura costituisce pertanto un antidoto indispensabile contro le ipotesi fallaci secondo cui le società sono costituite da fatti sociali oggettivi. Per Tenbruck compito della sociologia non è produrre teorie che cercano di racchiudere la società in una formula ma studiare fenomeni concreti, selezionando dalla realtà aspetti ritenuti di volta in volta significativi. È questa l’unica via per evitare di ridurre la sociologia ad una scienza tecnica e la società ad un sistema prevedibile di fatti sociali, che in altro non si risolve che in una ideologia dello status quo.

Abstract
The sociology of Friedrich H. Tenbruck is a "sociology dell'antisociologia" which is based on the role that culture plays most clearly in the social life of late modernity. While the dominant sociology is concerned only with a "natural reification of social facts" and expresses contempt for the cultural nature of human action, according to Tenbruck man is distinguished from other living beings on the ground to give a subjective meaning to his behavior , so that the reality is not equivalent to a collection of sensory data, but in a universe of objects with meaning. The concept of culture is therefore an indispensable antidote against the fallacious assumption that societies are made up of objective social facts. For Tenbruck task of sociology is not to produce theories that try to encapsulate the company into a formula but to study actual phenomena, by selecting from reality from time to time aspects considered significant. This is the only way to avoid reducing sociology a science and technology company to a predictable system of social facts, which otherwise can not be solved in an ideology of the status quo.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
