Abstract
The aim of this paper is to understand the power of the concept of conspiracy and its influence on the critical sociology. To explain this power, we start, introducing the debates around the sociological work of P. Bourdieu, with the question why sociology and rational criticism is likely to be dropped in conspiracy. Then we discuss some of the social conditions which are favorable for the production of the conspiracy theory. It does not disappear in modern society which allege to be rational because the idea of conspiracy continues to play negative role (to be a negative power) in social life. What the conspiracy theory demonstrate us finally is a negative re-enchantment of the world.
