Between the end of the Second World War and his death in 1990,
Elias published almost 60 articles on a wide range of topics. About
a third of them have not previously appeared in English, and many
of the rest were widely scattered and difficult to obtain. They are
being published in three thematic volumes, all edited by Richard
Kilminster and Stephen Mennell. In this volume, Elias develops his
sociological theory of knowledge and the sciences - in the plural -
to counter what he sees as the inadequacies of traditional
philosophical theories. Included are savage attacks on the
philosophy of Karl Popper and its damaging influence, a brilliant
essay on scientific establishments, and essays on Thomas More and
the social uses of utopias.
