Analiza koncepta refleksivnosti u teoriji Pjera Burdjea
An Analysis of the Notion of Reflexivity in Pierre Bourdieu’s Theory

Summary/Abstract: In this paper, we are going to analyze one of the central notions in the theory of the French sociologist and anthropologist Pierre Bourdieu, the notion of reflexivity. In the first part, we are going to introduce this notion and the wide tradition of the Kantian philosophical project, and Bourdieu’s specific reading of this project through the lenses of Emil Durkheim, Marcela Maus, Rudolph Karnap, and Ludwig Wittgenstein. After that, through a close reading of some of Bourdieu’s texts, in dialogue with the notes of his commentators, we are going to define the notion of reflexivity and its meaning. In the second part, we are going to observe the specific problem of the scientist in the field of science, his relation to the field, his habitus, and the particular problem of the scholastic situation – all of which are the main obstacles to the practice of reflexivity. In other words, we are going to practice reflexivity about the scientific calling and the scientific profession. Also, we are going to illustrate what it actually means to talk about the field of science, and not only about science in and of itself. In the third part, we are going to focus on the need for reflexivity in the domain of the social sciences, which are at the same time the product and the producer of social reality.
