Abstract

In the field of contemporary sociology, there are a small number of theorists who have been significant in shaping the field. They were all concerned with creating a multidimensional theory that allows us to understand all aspects of social life. They all attempted, through their theories, to overcome the disparity between the individualist and the collectivist, as well as rational and non-rational orientations within the field of social theory. (Appelrouth and Edles, 2008). Contemporary sociology is unique from its predecessors in that it draws on a diverse set of disciplines. This was good in a way, but it also made it more difficult for competing social theorists to relate to each other. The theorist that will be examined in the essay is pierre bourdieu.
