The monads, children of Leibniz, have come a long way since their birth. By several independent paths, unremarked by scientists themselves, they slip into the heart of contemporary science.
Max Weber | Sociology
Rating:
Weber's main intellectual concern was understanding the processes of rationalisation, secularization, and "disenchantment" that he associated with the rise of capitalism and modernity.[5] Weber argued that the most important difference among societies is not how people produce things but how people think about the world. In Weber’s view, modern society was the product of a new way of thinking.[6] Weber is perhaps best known for his thesis combining economic sociology and the sociology of religion, elaborated in his book The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism. Weber proposed that ascetic Protestantism was one of the major "elective affinities" associated with the rise of capitalism, bureaucracy and the rational-legal nation-state in the Western world.

Georg Simmel. | Sociology
Rating:
Georg Simmel (1858-1918, Germany) was born in Berlin and received his doctorate in 1881. He was of Jewish ancestry and was marginalized within the German academic system. Only in 1914 did Simmel obtain a regular academic appointment, and this appointment was in Strasbourg, far from Berlin. In spite of these problems, he wrote extensively on the nature of association, culture, social structure, the city, and the economy.

The following writings are my recall of several events that occurred in my 19 years as a police officer. I retired from law enforcement in 2000, and have been asked to commit my memorable moments to written form. That which you are about to read are events that remain with me, being 16 years removed from duty. These are as factually true as my brain cells allow. While these jottings may not stand out to most as the consummate thriller, it does reflect the reality of the times and, to a degree, a different political and sociological climate than contemporary times. To repeat (with some variation) the pro-show dialogue from the show television show “Dragnet”, the names have been changed so as to minimize the damage.
