From Social Sameness, a Fascination with Differences
Massey, Douglas S.
Chronicle of Higher Education, v51 n49 pB11-B12 Aug 2005
Author discusses the course that led him to the field of sociology. He argues that sociologists' strength is their immediacy to the subject studied, the social world, and their weakness, sociologists' propensity towards moralism and social ideology. Author advocates detachment for a full understanding of how the social world functions.
