Étienne Bimbenet, « Practical Sense and Reflective Practice : Some Sociological Development of Merleau-Ponty's Ontology », Archives de Philosophie, ID : 10670/1.20c91b...
Bourdieu’s sociology of practical sense appears to be a faithful expression of Merleau-Ponty’s philosophy of the perceiving body; consequently, this last is open to the objection, frequently levelled at Bourdieu’s work, of being no more than a new kind of sociologism. We will see that a more sophisticated definition of the flesh, and of the notion of the role ascribed to it, can be used to counter that objection and create the possibility of a genuine reflective practice.
