Philia et misos dans la sociologie contemporaine en Grèce

“In 2020 the Greek Ministry of national education and religion decided to eliminate the provision of sociology courses in high schools. Since then, the scientific status of sociology has been at the forefront of political debates pitting two opposed positions. On the one hand, sociology is accused of producing a Leftist militant ‘clientele’. On the other, sociology is hailed as a science fostering the capacity for critique that citizens must develop in a democracy. These positions generally reflect the ideological divide between ‘left’ and ‘right’ that structures the political field. But this article contends that the strategies and rhetoric of the paragons of the hatred (misos) against sociology as much as the champions of love (philia) for sociology build on and reinforce a common misrecognition of the social conditions of possibility of the social legitimacy of sociology – and thereby of the structural forces that contribute to its ongoing undermining.”
