Bourdieu's work was primarily concerned with the
dynamics of power in society, and especially the
diverse and subtle ways in which power is transferred
and social order maintained within and across
generations. In conscious opposition to the idealist
tradition of much of Western philosophy, his work
often emphasized the corporeal nature of social life
and stressed the role of practice and embodiment in
social dynamics

Bourdieu's work was primarily concerned with the
dynamics of power in society, and especially the
diverse and subtle ways in which power is transferred
and social order maintained within and across
generations. In conscious opposition to the idealist
tradition of much of Western philosophy, his work
often emphasized the corporeal nature of social life
and stressed the role of practice and embodiment in
social dynamics. Building upon the theories of Martin
Heidegger, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Maurice Merleau-
Ponty, Edmund Husserl, Georges Canguilhem, Karl
Marx, Gaston Bachelard, Max Weber, Emile
Durkheim, Claude Lévi-Strauss, Erwin Panofsky, and
Marcel Mauss (among others), his research pioneered
novel investigative frameworks and methods, and
introduced such influential concepts as cultural,
social, and symbolic forms of capital (as opposed to
traditional economic forms of capital), the habitus, the
field or location, and symbolic violence. Another
notable influence on Bourdieu was Blaise Pascal,
after whom Bourdieu titled his Pascalian Meditations.
Bourdieu's seminal contributions to the sociology of,
education, the theory of sociology, and sociology of
aesthetics have achieved wide influence in several
related academic fields (e.g. anthropology, media and
cultural studies, education), popular culture, and the
arts,

Critique of the Judgment of Taste (1979). The book was judged the sixth most important sociological
work of the twentieth century by the International Sociological Association. In it, Bourdieu argues that
judgments of taste are related to social position, or more precisely, are themselves acts of social
positioning. His argument is put forward by an original combination of social theory and data from
quantitative surveys, photographs and interviews, in an attempt to reconcile difficulties such as how to
understand the subject within objective structures, In the process, he tried to reconcile the influences of
both external social structures and subjective experience on the individual (see structure and agency).
