Habitus
Habitus is a concept derived from the Greek term "Hexis" and translated into Latin, which is the main theme of Aristotle's "Nicomachean Ethics". It is also related to the concept of Cultural capital proposed by Pierre Bourdieu. This concept is also related to the research of Max Weber in Sociology and Marcel Mauss in Cultural Anthropology.
When explaining the generation of social behavior and the regularities it manifests, Objective Social Theory such as Levi-Strauss's Structuralism reduces actions to objective existent Structure such as norms.
On the other hand, Subjectivist theory such as Sartre explains actions by reducing them to the will of the subject, rational judgments made by the subject, and the purposes consciously held by the subject.
According to Marcel Mauss, the original meaning of Habitus in Latin is "way of being" or "appearance", and he used it to mean "body technique forms". In the context of Pierre Bourdieu, Habitus plays an important role as a concept that mediates between social structure and the recognition, judgment, and Action that people construct and produce within that structure.
Pierre Bourdieu's Habitus can be understood as a system of orientations that directs actions and thoughts in everyday life. Through living in a certain order for a certain period of time, individuals embody Perception and patterns of behavior that are adaptive to that order as a System. This is what Habitus is, and it can be seen as an embodied Social Structure. It can also be seen as Habit and Sociability in the context of Habitus of Social Class.
Habitus and Structure and Habitus and cultural capital are further explored in the book Distinction <1> - Social Judgment Critique Bourdieu Library by Pierre Bourdieu and Yojiro Ishii.
