Pierre Bourdieu by Michael Grenfell
The French social philosopher Pierre Bourdieu (1930-2002) is recognised as one of the major thinkers of the twentieth century. In a career of over fifty years, Bourdieu studied a range of topics: education, culture, art, politics, economics, literature, law, and philosophy. This book takes a selection of his concepts and examines them.
"The book manages that extraordinary feat of offering both accessible introductions to Bourdieu's concepts that are 'good to think with' whilst also offering a depth of analysis that will engage scholars already familiar with Bourdieu's workWhether a chapter says something new about familiar concepts like habitus, field, or capital, or it introduces less discussed concepts like conatus, the writing stretches the reader's understanding of what sociological theory can be." - Arthur Frank, University of Calgary
