@sefjaguar I do believe that UK universities ought to follow a model similar to Oxford, or even Harvard, both institutions are, as you probably know, renowned for their brilliant sociological work.
On a side note, could you direct me to where Lyotard said he made up the evidence for his Postmodern Condition. I always found his work to be dubious...to put it nicely....

@sefjaguar I tend agree with your statement about the looseness off it. To speculate I'd say that it ultimately stems from the lack of 'agreed' method within the discipline (at least in the UK). As a result you tend to find many departments full of academics with highly disparate interests and many, trained in a discipline that isn't even Sociology. On top of that, I think the so-called 'cultural-turn' has 'sliced' up the discipline in a way that is not too dissimilar to Anthropology.

having read his papers several time... I find his appearance didn't come close to how I imagined him to look

This really is an excellent programme. Thank you very much for uploading it.

@sefjaguar I refer to those who just create radical arguments by cherry picking 'evidence'. Even someone like JF Lyotard who features quite prominently in any UK sociology degree openly admitted to 'making up' the statistics and evidence for his work 'The Postmodern Condition'. If one of the leading French intellectuals of the 1990's admits to doing this then the subject in general is simply failing to comply to academic standards of the more accepted subjects.

working scientists who ignore professional philosophers of science end up mouthing discarded ideas.
