In physics there were two fellows named Lorenz and Lorentz who lived in roughly the same period and both made major discoveries in electromagnetism. Maybe the Bourdieu/Bordieu thing is something similar.
Also, "Bourdieu's use of the term habitus as a 'feel for the game' in which the individual can exercise various strategies within the generative capacities of his or her habitus." Is that a recursive definition? O_o Okay, looking at it again, it's not recursive (which would've been neat), just poorly worded.
Every time I think I understand what people mean when they say ethics, something throws a wrench in it. eidos/ethos as cognitive/emotional aspects of culture?
It sounds like this person is invoking the idea that ethical statements have no meaning beyond the disposition or emotions they reveal in a person, most famously articulated by Ayers.
