Hey guys, don't forget: for this Monday we have to read "Introduction" and "Chapter 1: France." The course History, Role & Impact of the Social Sciences hasn't even started yet, or we have to read 100 pages!
Wolf Lepenies, Between Literature and Science: the Rise of Sociology. "The theme of this book is the conflict that arose in the early 19th century between the literary and scientific intellectuals of Europe, as they competed for recognition as the chief analysts of the new industrial society in which they lived. Sociology was conceived as the 3rd major discipline, a hybrid of the scientific and literary traditions. The author chronicles the rise of the new discipline by discussing the lives and works of the most prominent thinkers of the time, in England, France, and Germany. The book presents a penetrating study of idealists grappling with reality when industrial society was in its infancy."

These books are available at Selexyz, right?
Selexyz should have them, but I'm not sure. I bought the books at bol.com, but then it takes 1 week. You can also get Lepenies from the library. And the introduction is online on books.google.com
word. you wanna do the reading for me while i finish my reading report? i can pay you in flax or hemp
Just my luck. Selexyz does not have them in stock and the book is missing in the library. What a waste of time.
frack. well, I'm reading Lepenies right now. I'll try to post a summary tonight/tomorrow.
i got the whole thing free on google books
