| dc.description.abstract | The title of the book is The New Social Contract Between Generations:Profiguration. Profiguration is a new concept that Ihave been developing, already at the end of my adulthood, after different sociological, theoretical and empirical research, which have given rise to this conceptual formulation. The concept of “profiguration” (and “profigurative socialisation”) is a key element of reflection to improve coexistence and the relationship between individuals. It is about proposing solid arguments that favour intergenerational relations and progress not only in active ageing but also in an intergenerational dialogue that overcomes the break between generations and ageism (discrimination on the grounds of age, regarding both old age and the youth). In this context, it is pertinent to open a broader, holistic approach to human sustainability, both from the ecological and social point of view; finally, they must be considered together, sustainably coupling nature and society. The New Social Contract Between Generations values the importance of interdependence between people to overcome loneliness and face a full life throughout the different stages and ages, on a necessary basis of intergenerational relations. Life experience, in a profigurative society, is linked to wisdom:ageing (getting old) and sageing (becoming sage, wise). | |
