Formalisms and dialetics

Abstract

Some criticai considerations about chapter VI of Poder Simbólico by Pierre Bourdieu (1989), in which the author tries to examine the symbolic strugles, based on the sociology of representation, whose classical formulation comes from Durkheim. He also takes from this author, through Bachelard, his racionalism which allows hím to separete the "theoretical class"and the "real class". According to the criticai focus of the paper, the inivitable consequence of this precedure is the negation of any ontologism and the resulting formalization of knowledge.
