This book explores Pierre Bourdieu's philosophy and sociology of
science, which, though central to his thought, have been largely
neglected in critical examinations of his work. Addressing the
resultant confusion that surrounds Bourdieu's sociologized
philosophy of science, it expounds his epistemology and sociology
of science, situating it within the context of Anglo-American
post-positivist philosophy of science and shedding light on the
critique of relativist sociology of science that emerges from his
field theory. From a detailed critique of Bourdieu's reflexive
sociology and his attempt to enhance the uneasy epistemic status of
the social sciences, the author draws on the thought of Jurgen
Habermas to suggest critical ethnography as a way of going beyond
Bourdieu's critical theory. As such, Bourdieu's Philosophy and
Sociology of Science will appeal to sociologists, philosophers, and
scholars across the social sciences with interests in the work of
Bourdieu and the sociology and philosophy of science.
