For Lukács it was the division of labour and the increasing sophistication of production under capitalism which gave rise to an ever greater specialisation of skills. In this way 'artificially isolated partial functions' were performed 'in the most rational manner by "specialists" who are specially adapted mentally and physically for the purpose'. As a consequence these partial, autonomous functions develop 'through their own momentum and in accordance with their own special laws independently of the other partial functions of society (or of that part of society to which they belong)'. This process of specialisation makes it progressively harder to conceive of an 'an image of the whole'.58 Lukács's primary concern was to demonstrate how workers could conceive of society in its totality as a result of the conflicts engendered by class exploitation, thus opening up a path to liberation. Despite the common ground between such concerns and Bourdieu's insistence on the role of agency in his own, infinitely more detailed, explorations of the development of autonomous fields, the 'image of the whole' nevertheless remains an elusive one in Bourdieu's work.

you should recognize lukacs as one of the biggest marxist scholars of the 20th century.

they're both 20th century, relating to marxism, structuralism, post-structuralism, existentialism etc. bourdieu himself was quite a big proponent in the marxist anti-liberal movements of the french 1990's (i.e. lots of strikes and social upheaval).

meh I would have been impressed if he wrote in the 19th century or really before

Would have been quite impressive to see the level of specialization and its implications that early.

F_M thinks Machiavelli is profound.  He gets a pass.

J.K. Rowling is pretty profound

hahaha 'meh'.

FM is essentially arguing that it would have been amazing to see career specialization, in terms of physical role and mental application, before the industrial revolution. that's like saying it would have been awesome to see a proletariat revolution back in the nascent stages of marx's historical materialism theory, i.e. YOU MAKE NO FUCKING SENSE. there can't be career specialization in the 19th century because, quelle surprise, the 1800's pre-empt the MODERNIST era of which industrial and bourgeoisie culture evolved. i love how you implicitly put yourself and your judgements above the guy that is possibly the second greatest french intellectual of the 1900's-> behind Sartre. those summer technical camps must really be breeding an INTELLECTUAL MONSTER.

it would be cool if people had tails.

As if specialization didn't exist before the industrial revolution. Specialization and its psychological implications started the moment we stopped being hunter gatherers. To realize how it would exponentially take off before it actually happened would have been prophetic. To identify what has already happened is useful but not shocking.
