Abstract

The article provides a dialogue between current perspectives, in the fields of sociology and neurosciences, over the socialization processes, stressing tensions and gaps, but also some convergences and clues for a scientific development based on interdisciplinary cooperation. Such discussion is focused on three intertwined topics: perceptions and dispositions; emotions and relations; conscience and reflexivity. I argue that recent findings in neurosciences are valuable for an advance of the sociological knowledge (and vice versa), especially on a central question for both: the way people develop (and combine) dispositions and a biographical self, based on lived experiences.
