Exploring fundamental aspects of social theory, this book emphasizes the significance of social practices in shaping human existence. Drawing on Wittgenstein's insights, the author critiques established practice theories by Bourdieu, Giddens, and Lyotard, offering a fresh perspective on individuality and social life. The work highlights the relevance of Wittgenstein's philosophy to various social theoretical debates, making it a valuable resource for social and continental philosophers, social scientists, and literary theorists alike.

This is the first volume to bring together philosophers, sociologists and scientists to explore and examine the role of practices in human activity.
