Taking lives : genocide and State power by Irving Louis Horowitz( Book )

31 editions published between 1980 and 2017 in 3 languages and held by 1,458 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

"In what is widely recognized as a pivotal effort to study the social and political contexts of twentieth-century mass murder, Irving Louis Horowitz re-examines from an end-of-century perspective this central fact of life as a crucial aspect of the social science enterprise. In entirely new chapters, ('Counting Bodies'; Surviving the Genocidal State'; and 'Collectivizing Death'), the author expands key concepts introduced in earlier editions in a profound way. The new edition also contains a review of the most serious work done by others during the past decade, in so doing, placing the author's own efforts in a unique professional no less than analytical context. Taking Lives asserts that genocide is not a sporadic or random event, nor is it necessarily linked to economic development, national psychosis or social decay. Genocide is a special sort of mass destruction conducted with the approval of the state apparatus. Life and death issues are uniquely fundamental, since they alone serve as a precondition for the examination of all other issues. Such concerns move us beyond abstract, formalist frameworks into new ways of viewing the social study of the human condition. This has been recognized by nearly all reviewers of earlier editions. Taking Lives is a fundamental work for political scientists, sociologists, and all those concerned with the state's propensity toward evil"--Unedited summary from book cover

Professing sociology; studies in the life cycle of social science by Irving Louis Horowitz( Book )

28 editions published between 1966 and 2017 in English and Undetermined and held by 786 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

"Professing Sociology was originally published at a time when sociology commanded widespread interest and public funding. Written by one of the leaders of "the new sociology" of the late sixties, this volume captures the nature and intensity of the field's intellectual foundations and scope. It reveals the field's post-World War II development as a scientific discipline and as a profession, and includes the author's most significant writings on critical trends shaping the field.Irving Louis Horowitz divides the life cycle of sociology into three main sections. The first deals with the inner life of sociology, covering basic theoretical issues uniting and dividing the profession. In a second section, Horowitz shows the institutions and sources from which the struggle of ideas is nourished. A third section shows how political life shapes the inner life of American sociology. Horowitz gives a great deal of attention to international social science, to the relationship of social science to public policy, and to federal projects and grant agencies and their effects on research.Irving Louis Horowitz was undoubtedly influential in shaping his field, and Professing Sociology offers valuable insights into how ideas become part of the fabric of professional life. As the new introduction by Howard G. Schneiderman shows, Professing Sociology provides a clear picture of sociology at the height of its importance."--Provided by publisher

From the Publisher: The Anarchists is a rich collection of theories and practices in the words of those who have rebelled against the restrictive institutions and oppressive conditions imposed by state power upon the individual. Idealists and self-seekers, saints and assassins, they have often served as the conscience of the world and have expressed with eloquence and convictions, the deep-seated sense of anarchy that resides, to a greater or lesser degree, in most human beings. As such, this anthology presents the history and philosophy of anarchism in the words of thirty-five of its greatest students, observers, and proponents. In his new introduction to Horowitz points out that anarchism is an ideology in search of a movement, and also a psychology in search of a polity
