Pierre Bourdieu
Pierre Bourdieu (1930-2002): He studied philosophy at the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris. In 1964, he became Director of Research at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales, where in 1968 he founded the Centre de Sociologie Européenne. That same year, he became the director of the Le Sens Commun series at Minuit publishing, and in 1975 he founded and directed the journal Actes de la recherche en sciences sociales. From 1981, he held the Sociology chair at the Collège de France. In 1989, he founded and directed the European book review "Liber," in 1997 the "Liber" series at Seuil publishing, and in 1996 the publishing house Raisons d’Agir. His over forty years of international scientific presence produced an immense body of empirical and theoretical research, which, translated into most countries around the world, inspired a significant number of studies across all scientific fields. The most translated scientist of the late twentieth century, a thinker with global recognition whose work marks the discussion of ideas in our century, Bourdieu was also a combative intellectual engaged in the most important issues of our time. His books, including - among many others - "Les héritiers" (Minuit 1964), "L’amour de l’art" (Minuit 1966), "Le métier de sociologue" (Mouton-Bordas 1968), "La reproduction" (in collaboration with J.-C.
