“The Philosophers and their Apprentices have no monopoly on a general sort of appraisal as to how sociology is always limited. Sociologists can at least sometimes see that sociology always needs to overcome itself through difficult acts of self-examination. The purely negative, inert, undialectical, and wholly external critique of sociology that (Lane’s version of) Rancière promotes is actually worse than what they both seem to think sociology does to the rest of the world.”
