description One should not imagine that the social sciences discovered altruism only when Comte coined the term – understood as a powerful impulse to the intellectual and moral development of humanity towards which the latter must tend as its future state. Indeed, since ancient times, scholars have attempted to explain (cause-effect) and understand (sense and meaning) why in certain situations some men behave positively towards others (altruistic behaviour) while similar situations the same men behave differently. While not claiming to be exhaustive either theoretically or temporally, we will present an overview on the theme through the ideas of some sociologists (Comte, Durkheim, Mauss, and Sorokin) who have contributed the most to shed light to this object of study. We will argue that the rediscovery of altruism can be seen as a new form of sociality between Ego/Alter for a solidarity-based society.

Indeed, since ancient times, scholars have attempted to explain (cause-effect) and understand (sense and meaning) why in certain situations some men behave positively towards others (altruistic behaviour) while similar situations the same men behave differently. While not claiming to be exhaustive either theoretically or temporally, we will present an overview on the theme through the ideas of some sociologists (Comte, Durkheim, Mauss, and Sorokin) who have contributed the most to shed light to this object of study. We will argue that the rediscovery of altruism can be seen as a new form of sociality between Ego/Alter for a solidarity-based society. Las ciencias sociales no descubrieron el altruismo cuando Comte utilizó este término -entendido como un poderoso impulso al desarrollo intelectual y moral de la humanidad que debe apuntar a él como su estado futuro-.  Desde la antigüedad los estudiosos trataron de explicar (causa- efecto) y comprender (sentido y significado) las razones por las que en determinadas situaciones algunos hombres ponen en marcha conductas positivas hacia los demás (conducta altruista) y las razones por las que en situaciones similares los mismos hombres no se comportan de la misma manera. En este sentido, se presentará un marco (no exhaustivo ni temporal ni teóricamente) de este tema a través de las ideas de algunos sociólogos (Comte, Durkheim, Mauss y Sorokin) que, en el panorama de la sociología, más contribuyeron a enfocar sobre de este objeto de estudio, y cómo el redescubrimiento del altruismo se puede asumir como una nueva forma de sociabilidad entre Ego/Alter para una sociedad solidaria.
