520 _aWhat effects can reading a philosopher have in an empirical discipline like sociology? If it is pointless to see in Bourdieu an heir to Leibniz, one can nonetheless recognize a “Leibnizian” style in him. The first characteristic of this is a conciliatory stance: the rejection of alternatives is an exercise in defusing or pacifying, which also secures an invaluable payoff—that of seeing, contrary to first appearances, extreme terms better than how they are provided to us. A second trait is the perspectivism consisting of considering a multiplicity according to a principle of economy that grants unity and variety. From this point of view, “habitus” and “field” can be considered as monadological notions that satisfy the requirement of intelligibility without sacrificing the abundance of the sensible.
