| Doxa | " (Doxa is subjective belief rendered objective by misrecognition, which is the passive rendering of contingent belief as objective truth. Doxic assumptions about reality are confirmed by experience or left unchallenged and therefore accepted as true. Bourdieu famously summarized that doxa “goes without saying because it comes without saying” (Outline, 167). It is instilled through practice, not discourse, and its sense of objectivity is misrecognized. Doxa is therefore pre-reflexive. " | Political Theology |
