as a comment on Bourdieu's sentence that he ha "never really felt justified
in existing as an intellectual.

Here Simon just miss plain English: not feeling justified AS An
intellectual  has nothing to do with not being a "justifioed intellctual"
whatever that means.

So before getting excited about "gamesmanship", please read about habitus
"clives" and "dechires" (add the accents) in the index of Meditations
pascaliennes or even the autobiography of his friend Jacques Bouverresse
(who is also at the college de France and has similar feelings) and you
will see that someone can fill uneasy even in a universe in which he has
had success. See also Bourdieu "Lecon sur la lecon" is inaugural lesson at
the College de france.
