Percorsa da profonde tensioni spirituali e culturali e caratterizzata da un vastissimo ventaglio di lavori, la complessa produzione di Friedrich H. Tenbruck spazia dalla storia della filosofia a quella della sociologia, alla sociologia della scienza e della religione, alla sociologia della cultura, alla teoria dei ruoli, dell’azione, della storia e del mutamento sociale. Questo eclettismo è stato spesso all’origine di fraintendimenti ed equivoci, generando l’impressione che gli argomenti trattati nelle sue opere si alternassero senza un autentico centro di interesse e senza che vi fossero evidenti connessioni tra l’uno e l’altro. Le note che seguono intendono, al contrario, suggerire spunti di riflessione: sulla spiccata indipendenza di pensiero che contraddistingue l’autore, unitamente alla capacità, in linea con la scelta a favore dell’interdisciplinarietà, di assumere una posizione eccentrica nei confronti degli steccati che tanto facilmente, nelle scienze sociali come altrove, si tende a erigere e rafforzare; sull’esistenza, nell’ambito di una produzione tanto complessa e articolata, di alcuni fili conduttori che testimoniano una profonda continuità e coerenza di pensiero; sulla profonda attualità che caratterizza molte suggestioni fornite dall’autore.

Abstract
Covered by deep spiritual and cultural tensions and characterized by a very wide range of jobs, the complex production of Friedrich H. Tenbruck ranges from the history of philosophy to that of sociology, sociology of science and religion, the sociology of culture, role theory, action, history and social change. This eclecticism is often a source of misunderstanding and misconceptions, creating the impression that the topics covered in his work alternated without a true center of interest and that there were no obvious connections between the one and the other. The notes that follow are intended, on the contrary, suggest food for thought: the strong independence of mind which distinguishes the author, together with the ability, in line with the choice in favor of interdisciplinarity, to assume an eccentric position against the fences that so easily, as elsewhere in the social sciences, we tend to build and strengthen, the existence, in the context of a production as complex and varied, some wires that testify to a profound continuity and consistency of thought on the profound relevance that characterizes many suggestions provided by the author.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
