Luc Boltanski

Luc Boltanski is a French sociologist known for studying how people create and maintain social order through moral reasoning and social judgments. He explores how individuals and groups evaluate actions, justifications, and social norms to make sense of their world. His work examines how moral frameworks influence behavior, social hierarchies, and power dynamics, emphasizing that morality is often tied to social contexts and interests. Boltanski's insights help us understand the complexity of social interactions, how moral values shape society, and how people negotiate meaning and legitimacy in their everyday lives.
