The environmental strategies to balance human actions with the earth’s resources utilizing a sustainable approach can inspire original conceptualizations and, therefore, a new sociological paradigm rooted in a necessary rethinking of the dualism between nature and culture, and of human relations in a hyper-connected society increasingly composed by non-human elements. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChapter discussions include:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSustainability and the crisis of the theoretical functional model\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnvironmental sustainability and the evolution of capitalism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrom moral imperatives to indicators and indices: a methodology for validating and assessing SDGs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn understanding of psychopathological syndromes related to social environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSocial research between participation and critical detachment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ci\u003ePerspectives for a New Social Theory of Sustainability\u003c\/i\u003e emphasizes that not only are modernist theories of unlimited wealth and progress no longer supportable, but also that their theoretical and empirical settings must be reassessed if society is to move towards sustainability.
