my point that if killing one another were human nature, then each one of
us would actually want to do it. are you saying that psychopathic
behavior is a disposition of habitus? are you saying that people don't
kill because laws override there propensity to kill? habitus is an
amaglem of inculcated dispositions, not a nature, an instinct. and
exactly how does freud tie in with bourdieu in your example?
and could a knowledgeable person chime in on how foucault might enter
into this conversation? one of the best ways to hone one's own
understanding is to explain it to the ignorant.
