Abstract

Social relations are inevitably marked and defined by a previous interpersonal negotiation on the dynamics of authority that give them concrete form. The management of interpersonal and systemic authority has always been a “social problem”, although historically it has come to life in very different ways. This article proposes to deepen (in a sociological perspective) the theme of the so-called “crisis” of authority in the modern era by clarifying the terms flowed by the same semantic root (the Latin verb augeo) but marked by strong and sometimes antithetical differences. We conclude by opening up a reflection on a relational dimension (authoritativeness), in our opinion not yet sufficiently deepened by human sciences.
