Few sociologists of the first rank have scandalized the academic
world to the extent that Elias did. Developed out of the German
sociology of knowledge in the 1920s, Elias's sociology contains a
sweeping radicalism which declares an academic 'war on all your
houses'. His sociology of the 'human condition' sweeps aside the
contemporary focus on 'modernity' and rejects most of the paradigms
of sociology as one-sided, economistic, teleological,
individualistic and/or rationalistic. As sociologists, Elias also
asks us to distance ourselves from mainstream psychology, history
and above all, philosophy, which is summarily abandoned, although
carried forward on a higher level. This enlightening book written
by a close friend and pupil of Elias, is the first book to explain
the refractory, uncomfortable, side of Elias's sociological
radicalism and to brace us for its implications. It is also the
first in-depth analysis of Elias's last work The Symbol Theory in
the light of selected contemporary developments in archaeology,
anthropology and evolutionary theory.
