- More about Bourdieu, Habitus and Field: A Critical Realist Approach
The book argues that establishing an ontological framework for Pierre Bourdieus core concepts of habitus and field makes a substantial difference, addressing charges of determinism, tautology, and circularity. It offers a novel critical realist reading of Bourdieu, elaborating on his ontological underpinnings and enriching his project. It also extends Bourdieus insights in new and exciting directions by developing an ontologically informed Bourdieusian account of institutions and outlining a unique methodological approach to habitus.

This innovative book challenges the traditional understanding of Pierre Bourdieus core concepts of habitus and field by proposing an ontological framework. It addresses the criticisms of determinism, tautology, and circularity that have been directed at these concepts, offering a novel critical realist reading of Bourdieu. The book argues that while Bourdieu explored the epistemological basis of his key concepts, he neglected their ontological underpinnings, which adds a layer of depth and complexity to his project. It also highlights the synergies between Roy Bhaskars critical realism and Bourdieus oeuvre, extending Bourdieus insights in new and exciting directions. The book develops an ontologically informed Bourdieusian account of institutions, exploring the impact of institutional racism, and outlines a unique methodological approach to habitus.
