| Descrizione: | Introduction: This article proposes to provide a map of the sociological approach to the climate crisis, focusing on the problem of causality. It attempts to clarify why the phenomenon of global warming has occurred and how a synthesis of sociological approaches can be developed to allow for a better understanding of it. Objective: It proposes to show the various forms of sociological approach to the causality of the environmental crisis, initially undifferentiated from the climate crisis, and proceeds to contrast the theories that seek to explain this causality. Method and Technique: Starting from a critical eclecticism, this article seeks to present a map of the sociological approach to the causes of global warming by identifying historical phases and contrasting theoretical approaches, as a triangulation, in light of criteria such as the critique of traditional theory, the reference to environmental and climate justice, and the framework within a methodological cosmopolitanism. Results: This paper presents an orderly description of the phases of this approach, and, as a result of comparing the approaches, identifies the theories that demonstrate the greatest and least consistency. Conclusion: The validity of the theoretical approaches is recognized for explaining the problem of causality with a conceptual density and logical consistency that aims to contribute to producing sociologically grounded research proposals on a central issue such as climate change. |
