“Uncertainty has to be placed into the centre of sociological construction.”

In the interview by Balázs Berkovits and Ágoston Fáber, Luc Boltanski reviews his lifework from the early stages of his carrier as a sociologist to present. He talks about his relation to Bourdieu and Bourdieu`s sociology among others, as well as about the motivations and cornerstones of the program of the pragmatic sociology developed by him. The author situates his major works—his books De la justification co-written with Laurent Thévenot, Le nouvel esprit du capitalisme co-written with Eve Chiapello and La condition foetale among others—in contemporary history of sociology, recalls their core messages and evaluates their actuality.
