LuigiSturzo was born in Caltagirone, Sicily, on November 26, 1871.
Sturzo was among the first of the sociologists to recognize that societies do not only advance or go forward (progress), but they can be seen with the help of various criteria either to advance to greater rationalization or to fall back.
Sturzo held that two principles regulate human activity, the inner principle of rationality and the external principle of the conditioning factors in a particular society.
