Sociology of everyday life aided by participant observation indicates that in the lifeworld, sociologists of today can be classified into a fivefold typology (from the highest to the lowest):
1. Pegasuses (such as Bordieu, Foucault and Habermas)
2. Pegasus-groomers
3. Tree-huggers
4. Stump-sitters
5. Moles.
The paper analyses the styles of life, letters, and work of these different types as well as their impact on the progress of sociology.
