  • More about A Theory of Tutelary Relationships

The book aims to develop a theoretical and critical theory of tutelarity/tutelage, explaining its relevance across social layers and grounded in cognitive science. It is written for a broad audience, particularly researchers and scientists interested in cognitive science and social relationships.

Format: Hardback
Length: 298 pages
Publication date: 02 January 2023
Publisher: Springer International Publishing AG


The book's primary objective is to present and explore a comprehensive and analytical theory of a fundamental human social relationship, which I refer to as "Tutelarity/Tutelage." Through this theoretical framework, we aim to elucidate the reasons behind the significance of this relationship across various social levels, encompassing affective connections, social cooperation, interactions, politics, and democracy.

The approach adopted in this book is firmly rooted in cognitive science and employs models of the human mind, encompassing beliefs, desires, expectations, emotions, and other cognitive processes. Written in a clear and accessible manner, it is intended to appeal to a broad audience, particularly researchers and scientists with an interest in cognitive science and the dynamics of social relationships.

The book will delve into the intricacies of the Tutelarity/Tutelage relationship, examining its origins, evolution, and implications for individuals, societies, and the broader social context. It will explore how this relationship shapes our thinking, behavior, and social interactions, and how it contributes to the development of trust, cooperation, and social cohesion.

By examining Tutelarity/Tutelage through the lens of cognitive science, the book aims to provide a deeper understanding of the complex mechanisms that govern human social relationships and their impact on our lives. It will offer valuable insights for researchers, policymakers, and individuals seeking to enhance their understanding of social dynamics and promote positive social change.
