#anarchism symposium in this months Contemporary Sociology (Journal of Reviews), including Jeffs contribution... Seeds beneath the Snow: The Sociological Anarchy of Paul Goodman, Colin Ward, and James C. Scott Sociology as a discipline has largely forgotten or overlooked the tendencies of anarchism in its midst historically, as anarchism has overlooked its sociological influences. While some may note the influence of anarchism on Max Weber (recall his defense of anarchism in “Science as a Vocation”), or cite the resonance with anarchism of some of Herbert Spencer’s work, or acknowledge Peter Kropotkin’s social insights, the legacies and ongoing contributions of anarchist thought to sociology remain largely in the shadows. Yet as recent developments in social science scholarship point out, there is a growing recognition of the intersections of anarchy and sociology—outlines of a sociological anarchy are taking clear shape. Recent volumes of work by Paul Goodman, Colin Ward, and James C. Scott bring into sharp focus the substance of a “tradition” or stream of anarchist sociology. csx.sagepub/content/43/4/468.extract
