Pierre Bourdieu
“The mind is a metaphor of the world of objects.”
Pierre Bourdieu

Pierre Bourdieu
“Male domination is so rooted in our collective unconscious that we no longer even see it.”
Pierre Bourdieu

Pierre Bourdieu
“I would simply ask why so many critics, so many writers, so many philosophers take such satisfaction in professing that the experience of a work of art is ineffable, that it escapes by definition all rational understanding; why are they so eager to concede without a struggle the defeat of knowledge; and where does their irrepressible need to belittle rational understanding come from, this rage to affirm the irreducibility of the work of art, or, to use a more suitable word, its transcendence.”
Pierre Bourdieu, The Rules of Art: Genesis and Structure of the Literary Field

“Unless saved by exceptional talent, he necessarily pays a price for clarity.”
