The cornerstone of this book is the innovative concept of profiguration, a term coined by Fidel Molina-Luque to encapsulate the essential agreement and recognition required between generations in contemporary society.

Profiguration emphasises the intrinsic value of interdependence across all age groups, fostering a holistic life experience for the young, adults, and the elderly. Rooted in our social nature, especially crucial amid the current crisis, profiguration becomes a poignant antidote to loneliness. The imperative of mutual love and care is heightened, illuminating the path to a fulfilled existence. This book advocates a paradigm shift through the lenses of sociology and social sciences, stressing the urgency of a mindset overhaul. It calls for a new social contract grounded in altruism for both current and future generations, highlighting the importance of love, solidarity, and dialogue. Beyond interpersonal dynamics, it underscores the pivotal roles of education, sustainability, and environmental stewardship, aspiring to shape a more promising present and future within a conscientious societal framework.

Tailored to engage scholars, professionals, and students alike, its accessible concepts are easily comprehensible and applicable across the following fields: Sociology, Anthropology, Social Work, Education, Law and Business Administration and Health studies (Medicine, Nursing, Physiotherapy), amongst others.
