James K.A. Smith Quote
Habitus, then, is a kind of compatibilism. As a social being acting in the world, I’m not an unconstrained free creature without inertia; neither am I the passive victim of external causes and determining forces. Neither mechanical determinism nor libertarian freedom can really make sense of our being-in-the-world because our freedom is both conditioned and conditional. Both our perception and our action are conditioned, but as conditioned, it is possible for both to be spontaneous and improvisational. I learn how to constitute my world from others, but I learn how to constitute my world. The I that perceives is always already a we. My
