Extractions: S OCIOLOGY OF K NOWLEDGE Before we go any further here, has it ever occurred to any of you that all this is simply one grand misunderstanding? Since you're not here to learn anything, but to be taught so you can pass these tests, knowledge has to be organized so it can be taught, and it has to be reduced to information so it can be organized do you follow that? In other words this leads you to assume that organization is an inherent property of the knowledge itself, and that disorder and chaos are simply irrelevant forces that threaten it from outside. In fact it's exactly the opposite. Order is simply a thin, perilous condition we try to impose on the basic reality of chaos... William Gaddis, JR, p. 25 According to C. Wright Mills, there is a perspective called the " sociological imagination " that can be used to " frame ," or interpret, perceptions of social life. In part, this imagination features a healthy skepticism, assuming that social appearances often aren't what they seem. But even more, this perspective involves an awareness toward the linkages between history and biography, between social structure and consciousness, and between "knowledge" and its socio-cultural contexts. It is this one of this discipline's approaches to critical thinking Perhaps no where is this imagination so exercised than in the sociology of knowledge , which studies the social sources and social consequences of knowledgehow, for instance, social organization shapes both the content and structure of knowledge or how various social, cultural, political conditions shield people from truth. It has been argued that the concept of knowledge is to sociology as the notion of attitude is to psychology: a notion so central that, in many ways, it is the foundation for the entire discipline.

Extractions: Back to Main Document Index Back to Trotsky Encyclopedia Home Page Revolution Unfinished? Index The Revolution Unfinished? As Bettleheim notes, for Trotskyism the concept of bureaucracy is a substitute for not only a deeper, but a class analysis. It helps mask: ... the political and ideological relations of which the bureaucratic phenomena were only the manifestation. (Quoted in Miliband, New Left Review 91 In a general sense, flowing from the analysis of Russia, Trotskyism ties bureaucracy to abstract sociological roots. Mandel says that bureaucracy: ... is not a class rooted in the productive process but a social layer growing out of the proletariat . ( On Bureaucracy On Bureaucracy Prison Writings , p.139) There are This has been largely lost by Trotskyism whose routinised practice in the unions seldom challenges its fundamental limitations. While the separation between political/economic and party/union spheres is maintained at a theoretical level, in the day to day sense the limitations connected to trade unions that are posed is the existence of a bureaucracy. Trotsky himself tended to present things in these terms. In 1929 he said: If there were not the bureaucracy of the trade unions then the police, the army, the courts, the Lords, the monarchy would appear before the masses as nothing but pitiful and ridiculous playthings The bureaucracy of the trade unions is the backbone of British Imperialism.

http://www.faculty.rsu.edu/~felwell/Theorists/Weber/Whome.htm

Extractions: Rogers State University I originally created this web site on Weber (pronounced "Vay-bur") in 1996 for my students in social theory. Most of the paper is fairly standard, it is based on information and insights from standard texts or through other secondary sources. My intention in summarizing this information was simply to present Weber in a fairly coherent and comprehensive manner, using language and structure for the generalists amongst us. I do claim some originality in regard to explaining oligarchy, the rationalization process, and the difference between formal and substantive rationality (what I have called "the irrationality factor"). In fact, I expand on these Weberian themes considerably in my book
