Karl Marx's Theory of Ideas
Marx's ideas about how society presents a misleading appearance to its members have been the subject of many conflicting interpretations. In this book John Torrance takes a fresh, un-Marxist approach to Marx's texts and shows that a more precise, coherent and cogent sociology of ideas can be extracted from them than is generally allowed. The implications of this for twentieth-century capitalism and for recent debates about Marx's conceptions of j…
Reproduction and Development
An attempt is made to meet the criticism that G. A. Cohen's functional interpretation of Marx's theory of history fails for lack of a causal mechanism to explain how functional consequences occur. It is argued that Marx's work contains rudiments of a ‘Darwinian’ mechanism of historical selection, by which those production relations survive that best ensure reproduction of the productive forces. This necessitates the abandonment of Cohen's implaus…

The Emergence of Sociology in Austria 1885-1935
None would deny the fateful role of Austria in European political history during the past century. Her place in intellectual history is of equal importance, as several recent studies have reminded us. Her contribution to the emergence of sociology was both important and peculiar, yet its distinctiveness has often been overlooked. This is partly because of the tendency not to discriminate between Austrian and German thought, and partly because of …

West African Kingdoms in the Nineteenth Century
Rationality and the Structural Analysis of Myth
These comments are intended not as criticism of Steven Lukes' conclusions, with which I mainly agree, but to raise some questions about their further implications and suggest some answers to these questions (1).The questions arise when we stand back and look at the entire set of positions on the matter of rationality represented by Lukes' five paradigms and his own argument. They fall easily into two groups, composed of the first four and the las…
