This paper argues compellingly for incorporating emotions into sociological research, challenging the traditional focus on rationalism that has prevailed in the social sciences since the Enlightenment. The cliché approach that sacrifices or at least neglects emotions in favor of rationalism has been reviewed by reference to the recent scientific developments demonstrating that emotions and reason are not antagonistic but work in concert. Subsequently, to illustrate how a potential sociology of emotions might be feasible, the paper briefly reviews several theories of the sociology of emotions that can be considered in symbolic interactionism. Finally, the paper seeks a plausible explanation for whether the remarkable similarities between Pierre Bourdieu's relational sociology concepts and several neurological components offer us an alternative, interdisciplinary way of thinking. The exploration of the intersections between Pierre Bourdieu's sociological concepts and neurological insights could be viewed as an effort to enrich the sociology of emotions and to seek new possibilities for addressing the complex aspects of social life from a broader perspective.
