description This special issue of Studia Politicae presents a set of papers by regional and international researchers with an analytical and critical approach regarding central subjects of the work of German sociologist and philosopher Hans Joas. Taking into account the value and originality of his contributions for a novel understanding of contemporary social reality, this dossier proposes an inquiry into his ideas, as a key insight for specialized social and political theory.  If we compare the influence that those thinkers with whom Joas himself has established fundamental debates – such as Habermas, Taylor, Honneth and Bellah – have, it becomes clear that the dissemination of Joas' works in our regional context and in the Spanish-speaking world is still insufficient. A brief overview of his fields of  interest provides us with a guideline to some of his contributions and facilitates a better acquaintance with his main ideas. Among the issues addressed by Joas' work, we find some fundamental topics for  discussion in the current public domain – such as violence, war, Human Rights and democracy, the origin of values and religious experiences of self-transcendence –, with a perspective based on a fruitful approach that links American pragmatism and German historicism. Joas’s numerous publications over four decades of intellectual development have allowed not only updating the analysis of these fields. They also question some influential ideas that were long time undisputed, for instance about the origin of Human Rights, the relationship between secularism and freedom, the questioning of the role of moral universalism or sacralization in modernity, among others. It is worthwhile to enumerate and briefly describe some of his central contributions as a framework for the issues addressed by the contributions in this volume.
