"Goffman is one of best known sociologists. Second tier of fame behind the likes of the 19 ce giants of the discipline Marx, Weber, and Durkheim (I’d say fame goes in that order).
His works behind the presentation of self.. tend to be fairly neglect but the average intellectually explorative reader. This I believe is a mistake.
In skimming his ourve I’ve been deeply impressed. So this should be fun!!" — Aug 01, 2023 02:55AM

At long last the search for knowledge will reach out for its due: — it will want to rule and possess, and you with it!”

“Very like leaves upon this earth are the generations of men—old leaves, cast on the ground by wind, young leaves the greening forest bears when spring comes in. So mortals pass; one generation flowers even as another dies away.”
