(2014) Norbert Elias and empirical research, Dordrecht, Springer.
In An Essay on Time (Über die Zeit) (1984), Norbert Elias examines time from the perspective of the sociology of knowledge. He explores his questions in relation to his theory of the civilizing process, and by examining how time was understood and defined in early societies through to the industrial age, he extends his analysis of the civilizing process to the problem of modernity.
