<br/><br/> P. Bourdieu’s critical constructivism gave rise to a sociology of education which has radically transformed the way the school and its social function are approached and, more generally, transformed the analysis of symbolic domination. In this article I analyze the significance of the violent rejection of this exceptionally fruitful thought, by identifying the psychological, ideological and epistemo-logical origins of the résistance, denial, misunderstanding and invalidating it has been the victim of. Beyond the intersubjective and institutional issues, contextual analysis reveals the entanglement of psychological and ideological résistance to recognizing the determining effect of the sociological unconscious. It shows how simply invoking either psychology or sociology makes it possible to close off any discussion of the complementary dimension at issue in alienation, the complexity of their interaction in the economy and the dynamics of résistance to the truth revealed by critical analysis.
