Figures. Plenty of Marx, none of Mills. Suppose Locke isn't high on the reading list, either.
Cheap shot. Neither Mills nor Locke are a part of our canon. Plenty, of course, of Marx, Durkheim, Weber, Parsons, a little de Tocqueville, sometimes some Freud, Goffman, etc. That's the classic canon. Goffman is the only one on that list that can seriously be said to be a contemporary as well. I fudge a bit on Parsons.
Give me a break, John. You know I post from work. I don't have a dog eared copy of On Liberty sitting in the bottom drawer of my desk. I'm sure you have access to a public library.
And I don't plan to go there for these purposes. Unless you can quote a page citation. It may well be true that you post from work but you do have a few hours off after and before work.
If you wish to make claims about Mills' work, that's fine. But I would like for you to substantiate them. Then I'll check the quote, the context, and see if I can find something that substantiates those quotes colleagues have offered over the years. |
