Abstract

The distinctive quality of Bourdieusian sociology is the perfection in the explanation of deep and wide scale field studies with a solid weaved and complex conceptual pattern. This article aims to reveal the way he understands the social world, thus how he considers sociology as a science, and its relation with the social world. Bourdieu explains the social world with a conceptual framework centered on “habitus” and locates the domination at the heart of his analysis. He defines sociology with the imperative of denouncing the existent relations of domination in the society and the sociological knowledge as the very condition of understanding these relations of domination by individuals. Thus, which quality of sociological knowledge generates its competence for the production of a genuine intelligence on the society? What is the epistemological characteristic of sociology that the individuals lack, therefore requiring a true understanding of the social world they live within?
