Le alternative prese sul serio. Filosofia sociale, metamorfosi e mutualismo produttivo

Abstract

The article intends to claim for social philosophy a public function similar to that claimed in the sociological field by Michael Burawoy. The test-bed for this function is indicated in the phenomenon of recovered enterprises: after presenting the main characteristics of the cooperative recovery of enterprises in crisis or at risk of delocalization, the contribution will propose a conceptual redefinition of the phenomenon in question, capable of highlighting the diversity of the different processes of genesis of recovered enterprises and, at the same time, the main indicators that allow us to interpret recovered enterprises as garrisons of labour democratization and, in some cases, as real actors in processes of social metamorphosis.
