On the Concept of the New Spirit of Capitalism as Developed by Luc Boltanski and ève chiapello

Summary/Abstract: This paper discusses and critically evaluates the concept of the new spirit of capitalism as developed by Luc Boltanski and Ève Chiapello. Immediately following its publication, Le nouvel esprit du capitalisme [1999] became one of the most distinct points on the map of studies on the cultural transformations of capitalism, and it has attracted the attention of sociologists around the Europe. Nevertheless, in Polish literature the majority of sociological texts omit mention of this monumental work. In order to fill this gap, at least to some extent, this paper serves as an introduction to the ideas contained in Le nouvel esprit du capitalisme. It reconstructs the theoretical and methodological core of the book, the underlying concept of the relationship between the critique and ideology, as well as idea of historical phases in the alterations of the spirit of capitalism.
