The work of the French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu has emerged,
over the last two decades, as one of the most substantial and
innovative bodies of theory and research in contemporary social
science. The Craft of Sociology, both a textbook and an original
contribution to epistemology in social science, focuses on a basic
problem of sociological research: the necessity of an
epistemological break with the preconstructed objects social
practice offers to the researcher. Pierre Bourdieu and his
co-authors argue in the epistemological tradition of scholars like
Bachelard, Canguilhem, Koyre, a tradition that identifies the
construction of the object as being the fundamental scientific act.
Their way of discussing the issue makes it accessible not only to
academics and experts of epistemology, but also to advanced
students of social science, using for illustration a wide range of
texts from the various social sciences as well as from philosophy
of science. The book includes an interview with Pierre Bourdieu and
an introduction by the editor to his sociological methodology.
