He is quoted in The Culture of National Security chapter 1 as saying:

It is always risky to pronounce a verdict of death on ideas, even after an extended period of apparent lifelessness, but I predict that we have seen the last of the "sociologists" in political science. . . . What has happened is that others too have penetrated the characteristically sloppy logic and flabby prose to discover the deeper problems of circularity and vacuousness inherent in the approach.

-- Brian Barry

This led me to believe he was a persistent critic of sociology in political science--should this quote be used? In what context, etc. 128.175.87.12 14:24, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Barry is a persistent critic of everything sloppy or poorly argued, but not especially of sociology, to my knowledge. It's a top quote, though. Cheers, Sam Clark 17:17, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It may interest people to know that the book "Climate Ethics: Essential Readings" edited by Stephen Gardiner, Simon Caney, Dale Jamieson, and Henry Shue bears this dedication:

"For those who will come after us;
and for Brian Barry,
who showed us the importance of thinking seriously about them"
