Les trois dimensions de la sociologie critique

Abstract

Critical Sociology is, once again, at the center of many debates. Sometimes, it is (wrongly) confused with one single program (Bourdieu in France, Habermas in Germany, Foucault in postmodern stuies...). This article claims that critical sociology is a "family" of programs. Three dimensions must be met in order to turn a sociological program into a "critical" one : explanation, evaluation and practical transformation of the "object".
