Description
Bourdieu: A Critical Reader by Richard Shusterman provides a new perspective on the work of French social theorist Pierre Bourdieu. This collection of essays critically assesses Bourdieu's philosophical theories and their significance from diverse philosophical perspectives.
The contributors examine various aspects of Bourdieu's thought, including his use of central figures in Anglo-American philosophy, his relationship to analytical philosophy and pragmatism, and the political dimension of his work. The book also discusses some of Bourdieu's most recent writings not yet translated into English.
Featuring a comprehensive bibliography of Bourdieu's publications from 1958 to 1998, this volume offers a unique insight into the philosophical import of Bourdieu's ideas and their relevance for contemporary philosophy.
