Social Science Quotes - Page 4

• Anarchism is in reality the ideal of political and social science, and also the ideal of religion. It is the ideal to which Jesus Christ looked forward. Christ founded no church, established no state, gave practically no laws, organized no government and set up no external authority, but he did seek to write on the hearts of men God's law and make them self-legislating.

• Where our knowledge of beauty harmonizes with the ludus naturae, sorcery begins.No, not spoon-bending or horoscopy, not the Golden Dawn or make-believe shamanism, astral projection or the Satanic Mass--if it's mumbo jumbo you want go for the real stuff, banking, politics, social science--not that weak blavatskian crap.

• Like the Pentagon, our social science often reduces all phenomena to dollars and body counts. Sexuality, family unity, kinship, masculine solidarity, maternity, motivation, nurturing, all the rituals of personal identity and development, all the bonds of community, seem "sexist," "superstitious," "mystical," "inefficient," "discriminatory." And, of course, they are -- and they are also indispensable to a civilized society.

• The second reason why we haven't observed the growing gap is that our historical and social science analyses have concentrated on what has been happening within the 'middle classes' - that is, to that ten to fifteen percent of the population of the world-economy who consumed more surplus than they themselves produced. Within this sector there really has been a relatively dramatic flattening of the curve between the very top (less than one percent of the total population) and the truly 'middle' segments, or cadres (the rest of the ten to fifteen percent).

• Almost no one as I think most leadership books are a joke. They are, as I note in Leadership BS, frequently based on wishes and hopes rather than reality, on inspiring stories rather than systematic social science, and on "oughts" rather than "is."

• I'd say that the modern social sciences are just showing us why the conditions for implementing Hudud are so demanding, and thus Hudud should only be for the absolutely last resort.

• My main worry about referendums is that you are taking a very complicated political question that requires knowledge of a bunch of background facts in the social sciences and you're handing that question to people who don't know those facts and in fact, are systematically misinformed about them.

• Los millennials creen que Maxine Waters es enviada de Dios. Es un oráculo. Tiene las verdades mágicas. Es una de las pocas demócratas dispuestas a decir lo que dice, y estos jóvenes de la generación del milenio se están pegando a ella como no te lo puedes creer. Es uno de los más sorprendentes experimentos de ciencias sociales para ver que esto suceda.

• I think of myself as a social scientist. In order to get hired and to get promoted, we're forced to declare a disciplinary and sub-disciplinary specialty, so I am a psychologist and I am a social psychologist within that. But I think the exciting thing is to think about the social sciences in general and the nature of society. It's one of the hardest things to think about, because our brains aren't designed to think about these emergent entities. We're not good at it.

• Whether...a change from the supremacy of natural science to a new social science will take place...depends on one factor: how many brilliant, learned, disciplined, and caring men and women are attracted by the new challenge.

• The state has been living on a revenue which was being produced in the private sphere for private purposes and had to be deflected from these purposes by political force. The theory that construes taxes on the analogy of club dues or of the purchase of the services of, say, a doctor only proves how far removed this part of the social sciences is from scientific habits of mind.

• Así pues, parece que estamos a punto de que la economía del bienestar se convierta en algo parecido a una ciencia social de la ética y la política: lo que pretendía ser un mero pórtico de la ética se convierte en toda la casa o en nada. De este modo, la economía del bienestar podría contribuir con algunas de sus ideas y métodos analíticos a un análisis evaluativo mucho más amplio de todo el proceso social.

• Cuando el hombre se enfrenta al hombre, el uno intenta dormir al otro y el otro quiere mantener continuamente su rectitud. Pero éste es, por hablar en el sentido goetheano, el fenómeno arquetípico de la ciencia social. A este dormir-en-el-otro podemos llamarlo el principio social, el impulso social de la nueva era: tenemos que vivir en el otro; tenemos que disolvernos con nuestra alma en el otro.

• The social sciences, I thought, needed the same kind of rigor and the same mathematical underpinnings that had made the 'hard' sciences so brilliantly successful.

• Science fiction - and the correct shortcut is 'sf' - uses actual scientific facts or theories for the source ideas or framework of the story. It has some scientific content, however speculative. If it breaks a law of physics, it knows it's doing so and follows up the consequences. If it invents a society of aliens, it does so with some respect for and knowledge of the social sciences and what you might call social probabilities. And some of it is literarily self-aware enough to treat its metaphors as metaphors.

  Ursula K. Le Guin

• The prime lesson the social sciences can learn from the natural sciences is just this: that it is necessary to press on to find the positive conditions under which desired events take place, and that these can be just as scientifically investigated as can instances of negative correlation. This problem is beyond relativity.

• Los comía como si fueran ensaladas, los libros eran mi bocadillo para el almuerzo, mi tiffin y mi cena y mi tentempié de medianoche. Arrancaba las páginas, las comía con sal, las rociaba con condimento, roía las encuadernaciones, pasaba los capítulos con la lengua. Libros por docenas, por veintenas y por miles de millones. Llevé tantos a casa que quedé jorobado durante años. Filosofía, historia del arte, política, ciencias sociales, el poema, el ensayo, la obra grandiosa, los que quieras, me los comía.

• Lo nuevo suplanta a lo viejo. Sin embargo, las mentes de los hombres están atiborradas de tonterías anticuadas. Educar a los jóvenes en los últimos descubrimientos de las autoridades y eruditos en ciencias sociales es importante. Es igualmente importante idear formas y medios para ayudar a las personas de mediana edad y mayores a reexaminar las doctrinas e ideas anticientíficas pendientes a la luz de los descubrimientos e investigaciones recientes.

• A historical perspective can also help free us from the ever-present danger -- especially at danger in the social sciences -- of absolutizing a theory or method which is actually relative to the fact that we live at a given moment in time in the development of our particular culture.
