  1. (Fromm) The Illusion of Individuality

    ١٣‏/١٠‏/٢٠٢٢

    (Fromm) The Illusion of Individuality

    The last chapter of Fromm's analysis of individuality of modern man. Fromm addresses the repressive nature of modern culture and socialization, pointing to helplessless, a lack of automony and freedom, to be fertile ground for authoritarianism, fascism.

  2. (Tarde) Laws of Sociology

    (Tarde) Laws of Sociology

    This is epic. Love his trichotomy, and the discussion he concludes with. I.e. the emergence of the seemingly infinite from the infinitesimal, across all the natural and social sciences. Sounds like a call to the study of the heterogeneous and differentiated, outside the coordinated reduction of similarities (science).

    (Simmel) Fashion

    at times thought-provoking, contradictory, and offensive wish I could've read the rest of the article, but was getting tired of it o.o

  4. (Bhaskar) Emergent Properties of Social Systems

    ٠٤‏/١١‏/٢٠٢١

    (Bhaskar) Emergent Properties of Social Systems

    His sentences are long, his words true. Seems I need to read more Roy Bhaskar.

  5. (Comte) The three stages of knowing

    ١٣‏/١٠‏/٢٠٢١

    (Comte) The three stages of knowing

    Printed in 1842, Comte's universal law of mental development, and why it provides such a strong impetus for his new idea, "sociology" (translated as social physics in this reading).

  6. (Giddens) The Adequacy of Explanatory Accounts

    ٠٧‏/١٠‏/٢٠٢١

    (Giddens) The Adequacy of Explanatory Accounts

    From New Rules of Sociological Method, this section addresses the connection between art and the social sciences, in that they both attempt cross-cultural communication for self-expansion.

  7. (Luhmann) Implications of Systems Theory for Epistemology

    ٢٠‏/٠٧‏/٢٠٢١

    (Luhmann) Implications of Systems Theory for Epistemology

    Can you predict this will lead to sociology in particular? I didn't... Super dense, packed with insight, and justifies sociology of sociology (my focus).

  8. (Douglas) Institutions Remember and Forget

    ١٩‏/٠٧‏/٢٠٢١

    (Douglas) Institutions Remember and Forget

    Great analysis, moving from the mnemonic structures which keep ancestry in the Nuer and the dynamics of remembering and forgetting in scientific discovery.
