This philosophy of action is condensed in a small number of key concepts - habitus, field, capital - and it is defined by the two-way relationship between the objective structures of social fields and the incorporated structures of the habitus.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The key concepts and assumptions of Bourdieu's approach are exemplified in this volume through a variety of concrete analyses, from a discussion of the formation of the modern state to an account of the family as a site of social reproduction, from an analysis of the economy of symbolic goods to a reflection on the social conditions of political morality.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e An excellent and accessible introduction to the work of Bourdieu, \u003ci\u003ePractical Reason\u003c\/i\u003e will be of great interest to students and scholars in sociology, anthropology, politics and philosophy, and throughout the social sciences and humanities generally.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Wiley and Sons Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54250524148056,"sku":"9780745616254","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780745616254_b5657235-e228-4450-949d-6c0f2e9845e8.jpg?v=1780379110","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/practical-reason-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
