Offering a fascinating survey of Elias's life and writings, Dennis Smith traces the growth of his reputation. He is the first author to confront Elias's work with the contrasting theories of Talcott Parsons, Hannah Arendt, Michel Foucault and Zygmunt Bauman. He also illustrates how Elias's insights can be applied to understand Western modernity and social and political change. Smith shows why Elias is important for sociology, but he is also clear sighted about the limitations of Elias's approach.

Norbert Elias and modern social theory
Treatises on morality in politics and religion in the West in the latter half of the 20th century. Some of it was over my head as I don't have the classical education to appreciate many of his references. But I did appreciate what I took time to read carefully and understand, particularly the later essays concerning ideology and politics, the validity of Christian tradition and of democracy in an increasingly technological world, and the methods and effects of totalitarianism upon its citizens. Not an easy read but a rewarding one.
