Rubem A. Alves Books

    Rubem Alves was a Brazilian psychoanalyst, educator, theologian, and writer whose works explored religious, educational, and existential themes. His early experiences with frequent moves and school changes fostered introspection and a reliance on books and religion. After a crisis of faith led him to leave pastoral work, he became a critic of organized religion, advocating for liberal and anticlerical viewpoints. Returning to secular life, he established himself as a writer and academic.

      Alves argues that theories of social change are fundamentally rooted in the economic and structural forces present in society at specific historical moments. He critiques contemporary futurologists for their proposals, suggesting they often lack the transformative potential necessary for genuine social revolution, instead merely extending existing societal functions. This perspective challenges readers to reconsider the foundations of social change and the limitations of current predictions about the future.
