Not easy. But necessary.,

This review is from: Pascalian Meditations (Paperback)
I think for me this book filled a gap. A big gap. Between current, or in any case, recent philosophy (i.e. postmodernism) and sociology. Bourdieu even motivates that the existence of that gap was his main reason for writing the book. How is the gap filled?
What I've found is a valuable contribution that remains theoretical, engaged, yet practical in its application. Valuable, because it contributes to an increased engagement of theorists with practice. Valuable also, because there are some basic starting points derived from theoretical issues that Bourdieu pushes forward, irrespective of domain to which these issues belong. If you're wondering what specifically those issues are, I'm sorry to have to disappoint you. I've read the book too long ago to remember. I'm writing this, because I'm very surprised nobody has reviewed it yet. This book is much too valuable to leave unreviewed. I.m.h.o. it's a very powerful theoretical contribution to increasing sensible scientific practice. Read it! |
