By controversially turning away from the current debates which surround social theory, this book provides an historical analysis of the profound burden of sociology and its implications today.
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, Elias’s sociology contains a sweeping radicalism which declares an academic ‘war on all your houses’. His sociology of the ‘human condition’ sweeps aside the contemporary focus on ‘modernity’ 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 Elias’s sociological radicalism and to brace us for its implications. It is also the first in-depth analysis of Elias’s last work The Symbol Theory in the light of selected contemporary developments in archaeology, anthropology and evolutionary theory.
In a hyper-individualistic age and in the face of the narrowly focused, policy-oriented research ubiquitous in the social sciences, this book revisits the humanistic world-view that is integral to Norbert Elias’s pre-eminent figurational-process sociology, with the aim of increasing the fund of sociological knowledge that has the human condition as its horizon.Clarifying the contentious ‘post-philosophical’ aspects in order to supplement standard histories of sociology with new insights, it offers incisive evaluations of some of the bewildered attempts by prominent sociologists to diagnose the malaise of contemporary globalised society. It also challenges the orthodox limitation of the empirical scope of sociology to ‘modernity’. With its ominous warnings of the destructive prevalence of ‘overcritique’ in the discipline and lack of in-depth sociological psychology, Post-Philosophical Sociology will appeal to scholars of sociology, psychoanalysis, social philosophy, cultural theory and social and political theory with interests in developmental and dynamic thinking and the history of the discipline.

This sociological critique of the ‘philosophy of praxis’ 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 Marx’s 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.

In February 1995, Richey Edwards checked out of a London hotel instead of flying to the US with the rest of the Manic Street Preachers. There were a few subsequent sightings but then nothing. His body was never found, and he was declared legally dead in November 2008. Now Richard tells the story of his life – and disappearance – as he might have told it. ‘This moving, tender novel tells the story of a lost boy adrift in a world that he can’t make sense of’ Marie Claire ‘Myers deserves credit not only for adding a third dimension to Edwards, but for trying a fourth, for attempting to document a period of his life that seems destined to remain a mystery’ The Times ‘A sympathetic and sad imagining of the boy who became a reluctant pop idol’ Time Out ‘Harrowing and hauntingly sad’ Mojo
Vers l'automne de 1830, par une soir e froide et pluvieuse, une chaise de poste, qui suivait la route d'Angers Nantes, quitta brusquement le grand chemin pour prendre un sentier enfonc dans les terres. Il faisait une affreuse nuit. Le vent sifflait travers les arbres; les rameaux d pouill s craquaient; les orfraies criaient dans le creux des ch nes. chaque instant, les chevaux, d courag s, refusaient d'avancer; le postillon jurait, et la chaise, battue par la tourmente, mena ait de s'ab mer dans les orni res des sentiers effondr s. Pas une toile ne brillait au ciel, pas une lumi re dans le paysage; des aboiements plaintifs qui se m laient, longs intervalles, aux g missements de la bise, r v laient seuls quelques habitations loign es. Au milieu de cette sc ne d sol e, la voiture tait, l'int rieur, silencieuse comme un tombeau: pas un mouvement, pas un bruit de voix qui trah t au dedans l'inqui tude ou l'impatience; on e t dit le voyage d'un mort gagnant sa demeure derni re. Enfin, au bout de quelques heures, les chevaux galop rent sur un terrain ferme et sonore, entre une double rang e de platanes; le fouet du postillon donna joyeusement la fanfare d'arriv e, et la chaise s'arr ta bient t devant le perron du vieux ch teau de Beaumeillant...
