The influential theories of Jürgen Habermas and Pierre Bourdieu have virtually nothing in common. They share the same ideal of science as a discourse free of domination. This form of discourse could only guarantee something like truth, however, if one presupposes a definite progress of knowledge. Habermas and Bourdieu have not made this presupposition explicit. Discussion about their ideal and its presuppositions could build a bridge between the schools of Habermas and Bourdieu and enrich both theories significantly. Habermas' theory would gain a new empirical dimension, Bourdieu's theory would be able to discuss its normative standards.
