Simon is correct that nothing will be done in time if we run around looking for foundations...but your position is untenable given the speed of modern technology (cf virrilo etc) I would have to say you both take the side of a certain humanism that I think is untenable. simon's solution while more accurate in the specifics is still based on a rational humanism that has already been discreted...and yes simon this is where I depart from my "idolotry" as you say of Bourdieu. He has an overall liberal idealism, but it is not in the concept of habitus. Call me cynical but Deleuze and Guattari or Baudriard are more on target in their linage from benjamin and heidigger in understanding contempory science and culture. habitually yours kent > >Ania Lian > > >********************************************************************** >Contributions: bourdieu-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu >Commands: majordomo-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu >Requests: bourdieu-approval-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com ********************************************************************** Contributions: bourdieu-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu Commands: majordomo-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu Requests: bourdieu-approval-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu
