Pierre Bourdieu's Practical Sense is a reflection on the laws that regulate theoretical knowledge and the role of intellectuals. This book questions the idea that the principles that scientists use to analyze objects of study do not apply to themselves. Bourdieu argues that intellectuals are part of the social reality they describe.
The book is divided into two parts: a critique of theoretical reason and an analysis of the matrimonial strategies and rituals of the Kabila civilization and the Béarnese society. Bourdieu postulates that rigorous research in the social sciences must begin with a study of the intellectuals themselves.
