Abstract
Nothing is more habitual than habit. And yet, if we were to follow Aristotle, without it there would be no virtues between us, that is to say: aptitudes and abilities that end up shaping human existence. This essay examines the dialectical development of habitus in Hegel, from Anthropology to Ethicism (Philosophy of Right): on the individual level, from the fetal state and the derangement in the sentient soul to self-sentience and the birth of the ego; on the collective level, it is more concerned with the genesis of habitus and its authors: Corporations, state institutions and public opinion, until we reach the strange stage of habit as the dishabituation of all habit, in the phenomenon of war. It thus highlights the way in which habitus is the crucial mode of being between animal individuality and the sociopolitical body as a mechanical apparatus that promises life and threatens death.
