However, little attention has been drawn to his contributions to the analysis of the global and his very stature as a thinker who in his intellectual journey also becomes global. This openness to the global is not only manifested in an intellectual journey (a global thinker), but begins to be an object in itself of his enquiries (a thinker of the global); for example, with regard to the universal role of religion and the Catholic Church, the genealogy of human rights and the precariousness of peace in an increasingly unequal and risky world. However, there are few instances in which the author dwells on these issues in all their complexity. His contributions mainly come from marginal mentions, from questions left open, and from answers given in academic interviews. Therefore, in this article we propose to reconstruct some of these diverse and scattered approaches to the global scale and its attributes, trying to summarize their original contributions and situate them as part of the author's journey through his vast work, highlighting the perspective of analysis that he built up over time and in his transition from a sociologist (or more precisely, a social theorist) to a scholar of religion in general and who, moreover, makes his Catholicism explicit. Dentro de las áreas en las que se ha destacado Hans Joas y ha dedicado sus estudios y su prolífica obra, se suelen mencionar los estudios sobre religión, la formación de los valores, la genealogía de los derechos humanos y la creatividad de la acción social. No obstante, han recibido poca atención las contribuciones de este autor al análisis de lo global, así como su relevancia como pensador que, en su recorrido intelectual también alcanza una dimensión global. Esta apertura no se manifiesta solo en un recorrido intelectual (pensador global) sino que comienza a ser un objeto propio de sus indagaciones (pensador de lo global); por ejemplo, en relación con el rol universal de la religión y de la Iglesia católica, la genealogía de los derechos humanos y la precariedad de la paz en un mundo cada vez más desigual y riesgoso. Sin embargo, son escasas las instancias en las que el autor se detiene en estos asuntos en toda su complejidad. Sus aportes provienen sobre todo de menciones al margen, de preguntas que deja abiertas y de respuestas que ofrece en entrevistas académicas. Por lo tanto, en este artículo nos proponemos reconstruir algunas de estas diversas y dispersas aproximaciones a la escala global y sus atributos, intentando resumir sus aportes originales y situarlos como parte del recorrido que hace el autor dentro de su vasta obra. A su vez, destacaremos la perspectiva de análisis que fue construyendo a lo largo del tiempo y durante su transición de sociólogo (o, más precisamente, de teórico social) a estudioso de lo religioso en general y que, además, hace explícito su catolicismo.
