| Summary: | This research entitled Pierre Bourdieu�s Thought of �Habitus� In The
Perspective of Cultural Philosophy. Humans are social creatures who always
live in groups, but also without that humans are the man himself in human term as
individual. Humans processed step by step, so people search something for their
satisfaction. The humans then trapped in the braided symbol that has been created
by themselves, it could be trapped in the woven symbol which is consciously or
unconsciously. The culture is meant as a social construction. Culture is dynamic,
owing to the fact that the culture is dialectic and opened to what named as
alteration. Cultural change is interpreted as the progress in the sequences of time
and space, culture adjusted proceed with the development of society and
individual of the culture itself. Based on that explanation, the problem
formulations that conveyed in this research are first, what is Habitus according to
Pierre Bourdieu?, Second, how is the analysis of cultural philosophy about
Habitus?. Furthermore, this research is library research, that supported by primary
and secondary data. The data analysis has done by interpretation and comparison.
The formal object of this study is philosophy of culture. Moreover, material object
is the habitus according to Pierre Bourdieu's thought.
Habitus is a concept that chain back by Pierre Bourdieu from the
terminology of Hexis sparked by Aristotle and then it is combined with the main
ideas of Marx, Weber, Durkheim, Husserl and other thinkers. Habitus then
accompanied with the concept of field and capital. Habitus is seen in an agency
practice. In addition, Habitus is a system formed by the passage of time, it is
durable, but not covered on the changes that are conditioned on the field and the
capital. Habitus is a part of cognitive which existed at the individual or groups.
Additionally, Habitus is an internalization form of external structures (structures
that are structured) are dissolved and understood by the agent, who then expresses
the Habitus back into the outer structure (structuring structure).
The result of this research has done based on the concept of Bourdieu
about Habitus in the reviews of cultural philosophy which show that the habitus is
not able to be freed from the existences of humans. Habitus x field + capital =
practice is a unit of cultural elements, as a result the habitus is part of culture
itself, although Bourdieu ever mention directly. Obviously, Habitus has the
crucial implication for the ways where the agent thinks about the culture, it is
because Habitus related to feel and taste.
