Outline of a Theory of Practice is recognized as a major theoretical text on the foundations of anthropology and sociology. Pierre Bourdieu, a distinguished French anthropologist, develops a theory of practice which is simultaneously a critique of the methods and postures of social science and a general account of how human action should be understood. With his central concept of the habitus, the principle which negotiates between objective structures and practices, Bourdieu is able to transcend the dichotomies which have shaped theoretical thinking about the social world. The author draws on his fieldwork in Kabylia (Algeria) to illustrate his theoretical propositions. With detailed study of matrimonial strategies and the role of rite and myth, he analyses the dialectical process of the 'incorporation of structures' and the objectification of habitus, whereby social formations tend to reproduce themselves. A rigorous consistent materialist approach lays the foundations for a theory of symbolic capital and, through analysis of the different modes of domination, a theory of symbolic power.

盖奥尔格·西美尔(Georg Simmel,1858-1918年)是德国的社会学家和哲学家。《社会学——关于社会化形式的研究》和《社会学的基本问题——个人与社会》是西美尔的社会学代表作。从篇幅看，前者在德国的社会学界也往往称为他的《大社会学》，后者为他的《小社会学》。从写作风格和论述内容看，前者属于纯粹社会学或形式社会学，后者属于哲学社会学。西美尔是生存哲学或“人生哲学”的追随者。他在这两部著作里都深刻地分析生存的基木特征，阐述超出人生自身范围的生存的基本特点。在《大社会学》这部著作里，他深刻地论述和研究社会化的形式和个人与社会的相互关系。西美尔的形式社会学集中地表现在这部著作里。

《见树又见林:社会学与生活》主要内容：什么是社会学？你是不是一直觉得它很高深，离你很远，是一门专业的研究？其实，你就是社会学的一部分。只要有人，就有社会学的存在。社会学就是研究人、社会及人与社会各种关系的科学。它不是一套理论，它包括我们每个人。我们的日常行为模式、我们对日常思维方式都有社会学的影子。社会学我们生活在社会之中，社会学就在我们身边。它是一扇通往世界的窗子，一面照见自我的镜子，让我们知道，在于这个社会、世界的关系中，我们是谁。
