About this title: The Logic of Practice has established itself as a modern classic in the social sciences. It provides a systematic account of Bourdieu's theoretical approach and confirms his reputation as one of the most original and exciting thinkers in the social sciences today. Drawing on his own fieldwork as well as wide range of ethnographic and anthropological texts, Bourdieu unfolds a theoretical perspective which does justice to the practical logic of everyday action as well as to the objective structures within which such action takes place. A thorough understanding of practice requires the analyst ...

"As a newcomer to Bourdieu, I found this book particularly dense, and the translation difficult at best. This volume has a clear account of Bourdieu's definitions of field and habitus, as well as links between these concepts and Bourdeiu's conception of distinction. As he tends to recycle his ideas frequently between books, however, I find that most of the insights in this book are more clearly articulated in "Practical Reason" and "Distinction.""
"Covers a lot of the same ground as Outline of a Theory of Practice and is slightly clearer in its explanations of habitus, field and dispositions. An important work on the topic of embodied knowledge but I find Bourdieu's model on the whole to be too limited due to three factors: 1) the market metaphors of social and cultural capital don't really address some kinds of social action, 2) while denying historically determined/materialist/structuralist orientations, there is very little wiggle room to admit human agency or robust ways of accounting for social change, and 3) his insistance that embodied dispositions are never conscious or calculated isn't supported by the widely reported experience of occilation between conscious and unconscious behavior."
