After a survey on the work of prominent philosophers within the Western tradition, it can be noticed a tendency to view habits as automatic, unfree and unconscious behaviour. In this context, this article attempts to show that habits are actually much closer to the characteristics that are otherwise attributed to actions. That is, following the dialectical approach of Sartre, I develop arguments to support that habits are conscious actions carried out with a sense of identification towards the form of life that actions, in turn, project as a whole; in this way, each form of life requires a set of habits that the agent performs freely and rationally, understanding the latter as the dialectical procedure by which the act itself brings about a totalizing identity. This vision implies that habits are interrelated and codependent within a network of social behavior, so they cannot be discarded without discarding the form of life to which they belong. That is, a change of habit requires a change in the totality of which it is a part. But that change can only occur if social agents become aware that their habits are a product of their free acceptance and not of necessity. In the article, this latter is paradigmatically exemplified by neoliberal capitalism as a form of life.

行为，习惯和生活形式

在对西方传统哲学家的著作进行调查之后，可以发现一种倾向，即将习惯视为自动，不自由和无意识的行为。在这种情况下，本文试图证明习惯实际上更接近于应归因于行动的特征。就是说，按照萨特的辩证法，我提出了一些论据来支持习惯是意识行为，这些意识行为是对生命形式的一种认同感，这​​种生命形式反过来又是一个整体。以这种方式，每种生活形式都需要一套行为主体，使代理人能够自由，理性地执行行为，并将后者理解为一种辩证程序，通过该行为本身，行为就可以带来一个整体身份。这种见解意味着习惯在社会行为网络中是相互关联和相互依存的，因此如果不放弃其所属的生活形式，就不能将其丢弃。即，改变习惯需要改变其整体的一部分。但是，只有当社会行为者意识到他们的习惯是他们自由接受而不是必要的产物时，这种变化才会发生。在本文中，后者以新自由主义资本主义作为一种生活形式在范式上得到了体现。
