This sociological critique of the âphilosophy of praxisâ looks at the importance of the concept in the social theory of leading influential Western Marxists such as Lukács, Gramsci, Korsch, Horkheimer, Marcuse and Adorno in the inter-war period. It offers a detailed critique of Marx and Hegel, and explores the validity and implications for sociology of two of Marxâs ideas which the later theorists made the centre piece of their social theory: first, that true theory is authenticated by praxis, and second, its corollary that certain major social transformations should and would in practice render sociology redundant.

Few sociologists of the first rank have scandalized the academic world to the extent that Elias did. Developed out of the German sociology of knowledge in the 1920s, Eliasâs sociology contains a sweeping radicalism which declares an academic âwar on all your housesâ. His sociology of the âhuman conditionâ sweeps aside the contemporary focus on âmodernityâ and rejects most of the paradigms of sociology as one-sided, economistic, teleological, individualistic and/or rationalistic. As sociologists, Elias also asks us to distance ourselves from mainstream psychology, history and above all, philosophy, which is summarily abandoned, although carried forward on a higher level. This enlightening book written by a close friend and pupil of Elias, is the first book to explain the refractory, uncomfortable, side of Eliasâs sociological radicalism and to brace us for its implications. It is also the first in-depth analysis of Eliasâs last work The Symbol Theory in the light of selected contemporary developments in archaeology, anthropology and evolutionary theory.
