Abstract

This article contains texts extracted from the correspondence between an enthusiastic, newly-degreed sociologist, and an elderly one. In the past, the enthusiastic-sociologist was an engineering student, and as such, he used to underestimate the social sciences. Moreover; he would express his conviction about the social sciences, openly, whenever the chance presented itself. Now, after many years; he located the address of a former (and familiar) sociology professor, in order to submit his apology; on behalf of sociology! At present, not only does he appreciate the social sciences, he is now the owner of a Ph.D. degree in that field! In the meantime, his ideas had changed enormously. For the Emporkmmling (social-climbing)-Sociologist the need to establish such a dialogue is a compulsory rite, a sort of psychological relief; just like paying or initiating an ethical self-acquittal. Meanwhile; these exchanged messages are representative of the current scholarly debates regarding contemporary local or universal social issues.
