Ibm Plus Reality Plus Humanism = Sociology.

Above All, Do Not Give Up Your Moral And Political Autonomy By Accepting In Somebody Else's Terms The Illiberal Practicality Of The Bureaucratic Ethos Or The Liberal Practicality Of The Moral Scatter. Know That Many Personal Troubles Cannot Be Solved Merely As Troubles, But Must Be Understood In Terms Of Public Issues And In Terms Of The Problems Of History Making.

Whatever Sociology May Be, It Is The Result Of Constantly Asking The Question, What Is The Meaning Of This?

What Ordinary Men Are Directly Aware Of And What They Try To Do Are Bounded By The Private Orbits In Which They Live; Their Visions And Their Powers Are Limited.

Much Work Is Merely A Way To Make Money; Much Leisure Is Merely A Way To Spend It.

Power Is Not Of A Man. Wealth Does Not Center In The Person Of The Wealthy. Celebrity Is Not Inherent In Any Personality. To Be Celebrated, To Be Wealthy, To Have Power Requires Access To Major Institutions.
