Durkheim's Failed Darwinian Encounter: Missed Opportunities on the Path to a Post-exemptionalist Environmental Sociology
The philosophical underpinnings of Durkheim's failed Darwinian encounter have been neglected by environmental and mainstream sociologists. Although he claimed to employ Darwinian insights, Durkheim wrote during the eclipse of population thinking by an essentialist revival in biology. His inability to grasp the former and embrace of a specific variety of the latter explain the limitations and contradictions in his incipient environmental sociology…
Anarchism and Authority: A Philosophical Introduction to Classical Anarchism
Examining the political theory of anarchism from a philosophical and historical perspective, Paul McLaughlin relates anarchism to the fundamental ethical and political problem of authority. The book pays particular attention to the authority of the state and the anarchist rejection of all traditional claims made for the legitimacy of state authority, the author both explaining and defending the central tenets of the anarchist critique of the stat…
Studying Wisdom: Toward a Christian Integrative Perspective
Wisdom is both a current topic of empirical investigation and a vital part of religious thought. What is the proper relationship between the science of wisdom and religious tradition? We suggest four possible approaches: remove the study of wisdom from its religious moorings, disregard the science of wisdom, look for commonalities in wisdom traditions, and look for particular contributions with religious faiths. Whereas the first two approaches i…
Translation of the Risk Avoidance Partnership (RAP) for Implementation in Outpatient Drug Treatment Clinics
Scientific literature increasingly calls for studies to translate evidence-based interventions into real-world contexts balancing fidelity to the original design and fit to the new setting. The Risk Avoidance Partnership (RAP) is a health promotion intervention originally designed to train active drug users to become Peer Health Advocates. A theoretically driven approach was used to adapt RAP to fit implementation in outpatient methadone treatmen…
Patient Perspectives on Buprenorphine/Naloxone: A Qualitative Study of Retention During the Starting Treatment with Agonist Replacement Therapies (START) Study
This study examines the barriers and facilitators of retention among patients receiving buprenorphine/naloxone at eight community-based opioid treatment programs across the United States. Participants (n = 105) were recruited up to three and a half years after having participated in a randomized clinical trial comparing the effect of buprenorphine/naloxone and methadone on liver function. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 67 patients…
Violence: Thinking without banisters
Richard Bernstein proposes to explore the meaning, forms and justifiability of violence in his recent volume (p. viii). He does so because of a claimed ‘paradox about violence’ (p. 1): namely, that
Przemyśliwując alternatywę dla kapitalizmu
This essay is a polemic with Peter Hudis’s paper Yes, There IsAn Alternative – And It Can Be Found in Marx in the contextof his broader conception (Marx’s Concept of the Alternativeto Capitalism (Brill 2013)). The author analyses the mentionedproposition and its ability to answer to the following questions– the “classical” one (Did Marx develop an alternative to capitalism?)and the “contemporary” one (Did Marx developan alternative to capitalism,…
Ecological Modernization in Evolutionary Perspective
Ecological modernization theory (EMT) has emerged as a major theoretical and policy-making perspective. Despite its growing influence, EMT has significant limitations both as a descriptive and as a prescriptive theory. Taking the Darwinian revolution’s rejection of essentialism and developmentalism as the touchstone for ecological thinking, the author argues that EMT is premised on a nonecological foundation. The nonecological underpinnings of EM…
Radicalism: A Philosophical Study
Confusion, controversy and even fear surrounds the political phenomenon of radicalism. This book attempts to make conceptual and historical sense of this phenomenon, both as a kind of practice and as
The Second Darwinian Revolution: Steps Toward a New Evolutionary Environmental Sociology
Three decades after Catton and Dunlap's (1978, 1980) pioneering work, the promise and potential of environmental sociology remain unrealized. Despite the proliferation of theoretical frameworks and empirical foci, a "new ecological paradigm" capable of theorizing the interactions between social structures, human agency, and biophysical environments has yet to emerge. I explore this impasse by tracing the parallels between the Darwinian revolution…
Climate Change, Adaptation, and Vulnerability: Reconceptualizing Societal–Environment Interaction Within a Socially Constructed Adaptive Landscape
This article reconceptualizes current analyses of adaptation and vulnerability to climate change within an evolutionary theory of social change premised on the concept of a socially constructed adaptive landscape. The latter describes a negotiated and contested fitness terrain. Individual and corporate actors simultaneously adapt to and actively manipulate this terrain by using alternative collective action frames, mobilizing resources, and creat…

Structure, agency and environment: Toward an integrated perspective on vulnerability
The Organizational Dynamics of the U.S. Environmental Movement: Legitimation, Resource Mobilization, and Political Opportunity
We analyze the relationship between legitimation, resource mobilization, and political opportunity and the founding rate of national environmental organizations between 1895 and 1994. We address recent criticisms that organizational ecologists' reliance on the density dependence model—which treats legitimation as an unmeasured intervening variable—has failed to capture the active sociopolitical character of this process. We advocate a more histor…
Resource Mobilization and Density Dependence in Cooperative Purchasing Associations in Saskatchewan, Canada1
This paper examines the conditions under which Saskatchewan farmers were willing and able to establish consumer cooperatives as a means to contest exploitation in relation to the cost of agricultural inputs and consumer goods. Event history analysis supports Lipset's contention that agrarian protestors engaged in cooperative building primarily during times of prosperity. The founding rate for consumer cooperatives increased during periods when th…
