No social life is possible without order. Order being the most
constituent element of society, it is not surprising that so many
theories have been developed to explain what social order is and
how it is possible, as well as to explore the features that social
order acquires in its different dimensions. The book leads these
many theories of social order back to a few main matrices for the
use of theoretical and practical reason, which are defined as
'paradigms of order'. The plurality of conceptual constructs
regarding social order is therefore reduced to a manageable number
of theoretical patterns and an intellectual map is produced in
which the most significant differences between paradigms are
clearly outlined. Furthermore, the 'paradigmatic revolutions' are
addressed that marked the most relevant turning points in the way
in which a 'well-ordered society' should be understood. Against
this background, the question is discussed on the theoretical and
practical perspectives for a cosmopolitan society as the only
suitable possibility to meet the global challenges with which we
are all presently confronted.
