But is disinterested behaviour possible? Can law be treated as a set of universal rules that are independent of particular interests or is this mere ideology? Is the state bureaucracy a universal class as Hegel thought or a structure that serves the interests of the dominant class as Marx claimed? In his lecture courses at the Coll ge de France in 1987 88 and 1988 89, Pierre Bourdieu addressed these questions by examining the formation of the legal and bureaucratic fields characteristic of the modern state uncovering the historical and social conditions that enable a social group to form and find its own interests in the very fact of serving interests that go beyond it. For a disinterested universe to emerge it needs both the invention of a public service or a spirit of service to the public cause and the creation of a social universe in which individuals can pursue a career devoted to public service and be rewarded for it. In other words it requires a process of specialization whereby autonomous specific fields become established in the social cosmos within which a special kind of game that follows the rules of disinterest can be played out. By reconstructing the conditions under which an interest in disinterestedness emerged Bourdieu sheds new light on the formation of the modern state and legal system and provides a fresh perspective on the many professions in modern societies that are oriented towards the service of the common good.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: The Interest In Disinterestedness Lectures At The College De France 1987 - 1989\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Bourdieu Pierre (College De France)\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: John Wiley And Sons Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781509555116\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 330 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 9\/24\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Sociology","brand":"Bourdieu Pierre (College De France)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51334348898609,"sku":"IN-G-9781509555116","price":36.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781509555116.jpg?v=1746955061","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781509555116-the-interest-in-disinterestedness-lectures-at-the-college-de-france-1987-1989","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
