Materializm historyczny a koncepcja pól społecznych Pierre'a Bourdieu
Historical materialism and Pierre Bourdieu 's theory of social fields

Summary/Abstract: In the article above I tried to conduct a comparative analysis of Marx's historical materialism and the theory of social fields by French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu. In the first step I discussed the two conceptions separately, to compare them in the second part of the text. Of course the short form of the article don't provide enough space to perform a very thorough analysis, so I concentrated on this aspect of the two theories which in my opinion are the most important. I wanted to show that even if Bourdieu criticized Marx - from the left side - he also took his intellectual heritage seriously and didn't throw Marx away, but tried to modify his thought in some areas which - in his opinion - were indefensible.
