Quotes

  • Secularization theory is a term that was used in the fifties and sixties by a number of social scientists and historians. Basically, it had a very simple proposition. It could be stated in one sentence. Modernity inevitably produces a decline of religion.
  • I shall admit frankly that, among the academic diversions available today, I consider sociology as a sort of 'royal game'.
  • There are very few jokes about sociologists.
  • The same processes that generate consensus can be manipulated by a social group worker in a summer camp in the Adirondacks and by a Communist brainwasher in a prison camp in China.
  • The sensible person reads the sociological journals mainly for the book reviews and the obituaries, and goes to sociological meetings only if he is looking for a job or has other intrigues to carry on.
  • In science as in love a concentration on technique is quite likely to lead to impotence.
