Recensione:

′This is an excellent book. Heilbron′s text is illuminating. The interest of Heilbron′s book is that he subjects homo sociologus to Bourdieu′s treatment. He provides a fascinating and well–researched social and intellectual history of France from the ancient regime through to the time of Comte.′ The Times Higher Education Supplement

′An outstanding scholarly product ... a good book in the sense of enjoyable reading.′ Acta Sociologica

′Wealth of cultural history ... brilliantly written and rich ... provide[s] essential contributions to the self–reflection of sociology in our time.′ European Journal of Social Theory
