This article highlights some distinctive features of the French School of sociology by uncovering four principles that support the works of Emile Durkheim and Pierre Bourdieu: the fierce attachment to rationalism, the refusal of pure theory and the defense of the undividedness of social science, the relation to historicity and historiography, and the recourse to ethnology as a privileged device for indirect experimentation. It is argued that Bourdieu both relies on and twists those pillar-principles to support a scientific edifice endowed with an original architecture, at once closely akin to and sharply different from that of the Durkheimian mother-house
