In the current crisis of the theory of the entirely rational actor, interest has grown in recent years both in the sociology of emotions and in Pareto seen as a sociologist of emotions. It is therefore appropriate to deepen the analysis by separating, on the one hand, the theory of logical and non-logical actions and, on the other hand, the later focus on residues in the Treatise on General Sociology. In this way, one can better appreciate both the originality of Pareto’s approach to emotions and that residues, while conceived in a markedly elitist framework, have implications that are in part still relevant today. Although it remains true that Pareto was looking primarily at the issue of rulers, his view is multifaceted and by no means simplistic.

Abstract
In the current crisis of the theory of the entirely rational actor, interest has grown in recent years both in the sociology of emotions and in Pareto seen as a sociologist of emotions. It is therefore appropriate to deepen the analysis by separating, on the one hand, the theory of logical and non-logical actions and, on the other hand, the later focus on residues in the Treatise on General Sociology. In this way, one can better appreciate both the originality of Pareto’s approach to emotions and that residues, while conceived in a markedly elitist framework, have implications that are in part still relevant today. Although it remains true that Pareto was looking primarily at the issue of rulers, his view is multifaceted and by no means simplistic.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
