The dude was a nut, but for every five nutty things he said, there was at least one absolutely brilliant thing, and it was all a matter of fixing your filter at the right frequency. Weber, Durkheim, Marx, etc., are all very pick-and-choose about what's nuts and what's not. But I think there's some (lots of) very good applied sociology going on in this world that is both very objective and very not asinine.Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01821420867311588899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6906005.post-1104127290250778662004-12-27T01:01:00.000-05:002004-12-27T01:01:00.000-05:00i took exactly one sociology class, which lasted f...i took exactly one sociology class, which lasted for about 2 weeks before i got fed up and dropped it. i've read hegel and marx in my philosophy class without it bothering me one bit - actually it was fascinating and had a lot of useful ideas - but that one sociology class was like reading the satanic bible on halloween in a dungeon full of undead reason-sucking vampires. the amount of crap spewed in those two weeks was unbelievable and very bad for my emotional health. i have no idea if other sociology classes are like that, but i had no desire to find out. as far as i'm concerned, the "sociological perspective" is that of one's head up his own ass.<br /><br />with respect,<br />michaelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
