In attempting to understand working class experience, Bourdieu warns that we must be careful not to ‘leave out the relation to class condition which is part of a complete definition of that condition’ (Bourdieu 1984: 372). And Bourdieu goes on to say that intellectuals usually apprehend ‘the working class condition through schemes of perception and appreciation which are not those that the members of the working class themselves use to apprehend it' (Bourdieu 1984: 373). Rather, we need to understand the habitus which is ‘normally (i.e., with a high statistical probability) associated with that position’ (Bourdieu 1984: 372). We have already established how this is to be rendered and considered the resources that allow us to understand their relation to their condition. Here, the insights of Merleau-Ponty concerning the nature of pre-reflective, antepredicative experience are helpful.
