The reduction of the context in the works of Bourdieu and Habermas

In Bourdieu, as in Habermas, the relations between the theory of social act ion and a comprehensive sociology of the world as it is experienced play a decisive role in understanding the transformation of forms of life. Hence i t is possible to compare these two authors from the point of view of the op erations they mobilize, ir order to describe these relations. Apart from th e known differences, there results a degree of epistemological proximity in the manner of mobilising the schematism of representation, in order to exp lain the pragmatic competence to follow the rules. The hypothesis put forwa rd by the A. is that this explanation reduces the context of action to a fu nction of a semantic background.
