The Best in My field: Pierre Bourdieu


He was one of the most important sociologists of the second half of the twentieth century.
His ideas are very important both in social theory and in empirical sociology, especially in the sociology of culture, education and lifestyles.

His theory has become an attempt to overcome the duality between traditional sociology and social structures objectivism ( "physicality") on the one hand, compared to social action and subjectivity (hermeneutics), on the other side.

This adds two new concepts, the habitus and field, and reinvents an already established, the capital.

The biography of Bourdieu is very important, because he was a farmer and was faithful to its roots as it is not mixed with the intellectuals of the time, they had many privileges.
