En este artículo se sistematiza la perspectiva teórica de Pierre Bourdieu sobre las clases sociales. Se presentan las críticas que realiza a los puntos de vista objetivista y subjetivista en teoría social, los fundamentos de su propia propuesta, el concepto de habitus de clase, y las luchas de clasificaciones mediante las que se constituyen las clases.

This paper deals with some plausible links between German Romanticism thinkers and Saussure’s thought. In particular, I examine texts of Schleiermacher, Novalis, and W. Humboldt. F. Saussure’s main text employed is the Cours de linguistique générale (1916). Likewise, Albertine Necker de Saussure (F. Saussure’s great aunt) is taken into account as a relevant thinker in the relation F. Saussure-Romanticism.

This paper provides an original approach to research on the logical processes that determine how certain forms participate in others. By introducing the concept of relational participation, the problems of self-referentiality of the Platonic forms can be dealt with more effectively. Applying this to the forms of likeness and unlikeness in Parmenides 132d-133a reveals a possible way to resolve different versions of the Third Man Argument. The method of generating numbers from oddness and evenness may also be of interest; relational (...) participation in these forms clarifies the interpretation of Parmenides 143e-144a. (shrink)
