Framing these as exciting or novel results, rather than devasting commentary on the state of the field of evolutionary sociology seems counter-intitutive... #howisevolutionarysociologyathing #evolutionarypsychologywasbadenough

I enjoy this analysis of why pragmatism did not take off in Germany which is a) scheler didn’t actually read what he said he did and b)no one read the second part of scheler’s essay. Highly reasonable, no one has time to read full texts. #pragmatism #scheler #sociologyofknowledge

The perfect abstract. Settles the entire debate on which theories are interesting. #sociology #phenomenology #necessarytypologies #isanytheoryactuallyinteresting?

Everything in this paragraph is great (correspondence from gurwitsch to schutz). Not only has Kraft never understood or comprehended a thing but he is also “an ignorant and thoughtless stylograph”. #phenomenology #sociology #ifyousquint #alsogoodtoaskhowareyou

I do enjoy that Mead very clearly hated people who were good at networking. #Sociology #mead #pragmatism #normativity #despicable

Notably, no one has ever read Berger and Luckmann correctly. It’s essentially a summary of schutz with some thoughts on institutionalization. #phenomenology #Sociology #objectiveknowledge #subjectiverealities

Everyone enjoys a good debate about who’s actually read an author (see also: every text ever published on Berger and Luckmann) #mead #socialconstructivism #sociology

Is John Dewey really the Aristotle of the 20th century? #seemsunlikely #pragmatism #americanpragmatism
