Sociology is a science, for Bourdieu, since and insofar as he distanced himself from social philosophy. That is, to the extent that it appropriated CONCEPTS, METHODS, CONSISTENT SYSTEMS OF HYPOTHESIS AND VERIFICATION PROCEDURES. Not all sociologists deserve the name of scientists because the methodology varies from author to author, getting GRADUALLY closer, some more than others, to the ideal of scientific verification. However, it is common for them to question the scientific character of sociology, even in the cases of greater methodological rigor, and attack it because many of the statements that this science makes uncomfortable (because sociology calls into question the other sciences).
