In the field of western humanities and social sciences,Bourdieu is highly respected.Although his theory of culture,especially the theory of practice,is at odds with the traditional theory of universality,it still has an important influence in the world theory circle.From the perspective of cultural philosophy,this paper presents Bourdieu’s unique views on the practical problems of the capitalist society by taking Bourdieu’s reflection on sociology as a research perspective with realistic concern.This paper combs and interprets Bourdieu’s practical theory from different dimensions,trying to fully show the theoretical value and practical significance of Bourdieu’s practical theory:the first chapter clarifies the background of Bourdieu’s practical theory,sorts out the formation of his practical theory,and clarifies how he constructs a set of unique relational theory.The second chapter summarizes Bourdieu’s new definition of the core concepts of practice,cultural practice and symbolic practice.Through analyzing the intermediary nature of Bourdieu’s symbolic practice,it reveals that human practice has symbolic significance in his vision,and cultural practice is the cultural principal axis of symbolic practice.The third chapter explores one of the important issues of Bourdieu’s practical theory--cultural reproduction,points out that he takes the educational system as the research object,examines the cultural reproduction system,and analyses that the origin of symbolic violence lies in the flood of symbolic capital.Furthermore,Bourdieu believes that language capital is a kind of symbolic capital,and the reproduction of language capital also plays an important role in the education system.The fourth chapter,from the perspective of realistic concern of cultural philosophy,shows Bourdieu explains the relationship between habit and class distinction with the difference of taste and habit,thus explaining that the way to rationalize capitalist culture is the inheritance and reproduction of cultural capital,and essentially exposes the essence of class rule by the dominant class of capitalism.At the same time,this chapter takes the generation and inheritance of habit as the micro perspective,reflecting on the relationship between Bourdieu’s "habit ideology" man and"habit" man--the unconscious of "habit ideology" leads to the dissolution of human subject consciousness,and ultimately leads to the alienation of human nature in the capitalist world.The fifth chapter discusses the value and limitation of Bourdieu’s practical theory with a deep sense of problem.It holds that the study of Bourdieu’s practical theory is helpful to expand the field of view of Marx’s practical view and understand the essence of reproduction in capitalist society from the Angle of cultural philosophy.To supplement and develop the critical theory and practical theory of Western culture,and then break the boundary of humanities,and make a contribution to the repair of social science.At the same time,it reveals the limitations of Bourdieu’s practical theory,that is,the overemphasis on the role of culture,the deviation from Marx’s class theory and the neglect of the practical initiative and resistance of the people at the bottom.In view of this,this paper tries to explain Bourdieu’s practical theory systematically from a new perspective,in order to show that Bourdieu’s practical theory has deeply exposed the fact of the alienation of human existence essence in capitalist society.The"relationship between habit and taste","relationship between habit and distinction" and"relationship between habit ideology and habit person" discussed in Bourdieu’s practical theory are not only the focus of discussion in this paper,but also the innovation of this paper.
