'It is because we are implicated in the world that there is implicit content in what we think and say about it. in order to free our thinking of the implicit, it is not sufficient to perform the return of thought onto itself which is commonly associated with the idea of reflexivity; and only the illusion of the omnipotence of thought could lead one to believe that the most radical doubt is capable of suspending the presuppositions, linked to our various affiliations, memberships, implications, that we engage in our thoughts. The unconscious is history - the collective history that has produced our categories of thought, and the individual history through which they have been inculcated into us'.
Bourdieu, Pascallian Meditations
