Abstract

In this paper I present the contribution of French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu in some of his researches and investigations about the method of teaching as a social, cultural, and exclusion method of a fragmented and theoretical teaching, which is, mostly, encouraging the competitive and aggressive social model. In this perspective, I bring to discussion the teaching of Philosophy in high schools, where it can be realized that much of what is being taught in this subject is a transposition of the traditional philosophical culture, with fragmented cuts and away from what is happening, and from the daily life of the students. The concept of habitus present in Bourdieu’s thought as a process of inculcation, system of durable dispositions, of transmission of cultural goods and of symbolic goods in the structure of the social area are all part of the theoretical corpus of this paper.
