Quotes

 * Both in the natural sciences and in sociology direct perception is deceptive, leading to the view that we are confronted with something which is in itself just what it appears to be. This is by no means the case and has long ago been rejected by the physical sciences, and it would be interesting to find out why it is still virtually unchallenged in sociology.
 * Max Weber and Value-free Sociology: A Marxist Critique (1975), p. 39.
