Abstract

L'auteur montre comment N. Elias critique à la fois la sociologie classique, qui emprunte aux sciences naturelles la théorie évolutionniste, et la sociologie moderne, qui rejette la notion d'évolution. Il analyse comment N. Elias propose une sociologie évolutionnaire à travers le concept de processus configurationnel qui abolit l'opposition classique individu-société. Dans ce cadre, la notion d'évolution appartient elle aussi au processus évolutionnaire.The author shows how N. Elias criticizes, at one and the same time, the classical sociology using the evolutionistic theoiy coming from the natural sciences, and the modern sociology rejecting the notion of evolution. He analyses how N. Elias propounds an . evolutionary sociology through the concept of configurationalprocess which eliminates the classical individual-society opposition. In this framework the notion of evolution itself has to be seen as belonging to the evolutionaiy process.
