NEW COURSE 2nd PERIOD 2015 (30 Oct – 18 Dec). The Sociological Promise from the Enlightenment to Postmodern Critics. Fighting Back the Anthropological Monster.
Presentation of the course
Why is it so difficult to deal with difference in modern societies? Do they, even the most liberal democracies, have a tendency to turn into totalitarian states? These are questions that arise today as we look around the world in which we live, but they are not new. The social thought in the Enlightenment formulated them on the basis of two starting points. First, societies are not held together by natural laws; they are man-made human constructions and therefore historical and variable. Second, not only are societies made by humans; also humans are made by societies. Calculative rationality is one of the ways in which societies “make man” but not the basis of social order.

Proto-sociology of Mandeville and Hume
Sociologists have for a long while largely turned their backs on the foundations of their discipline as a science of society. Two or three decades ago prominent authors such as Zygmunt Bauman (1991) and Nikolas Rose (1996) concluded that the end of society, even the social, has arrived. Many other more or less light-handed assertions of the end of society where heard. Why societies hold together is a pointless question if there is no society.
Historians, fortunately, have at the same time turned to what could be called the first classical period of modern social science in the 18th century with this very question in mind. Rousseau, Montesquieu, Mandeville, Locke and others in France and England; and Hume and Smith with their predecessors and contemporaries in Scotland have received new attention as theorists of a society that is constituted by autonomous agents. As Reinhard Koselleck (1988 [1959]) argued already in the 1950s, these authors were responding with their critiques to the crisis of sovereign absolutism and its Hobbesian justifications. Such a critique is more than wanted in the current world situation where fallen dictatorships tend to turn not into democracies but into battle fields that much resemble the bellum omnium contra omnes to which Hobbes offered his solution and for which the 18th century philosophers were seeking alternatives.

What I do in Sociology?
My research expertise consists of two lines: theories of addiction and public sector research. I am leader of an international Research Consortium “Theories and Images of Addiction” (Images) and supervisor in a research area of the FP7 Consortium ALICE RAP led by Prof. Peter Anderson. My reserach area in this consortium is coordinated by Dr. Matilda Hellman. Public sector research concerns a wide array of issues in which the state, the market and civic organizations control, care or cure the life of citizens. I am author of The Saturated Society: Governing Risk and Lifestyle in Consumer Culture (Sage 2009), editor of Projektiyhteiskunnan kääntöpuolia (Flipsides of the Project Society (with Kati Rantala, Gaudeamus 2007) and many articles concerning the role of the public sphere in contemporary capitalism.
What I think in sociology
I have strong opinions on what sociologists should do but they don’t.

One other thing I would like to mention is that instead of trying to fit all your online degree classes on days and nights that you finish off work (considering that people are worn out when they go back home), try to get most of your sessions on the week-ends and only a couple of courses on weekdays, even if it means a little time away from your weekend break. This pays off because on the weekends, you will be a lot more rested and also concentrated upon school work. Many thanks for the different guidelines I have learned from your weblog.

Gambling in Australia is dated way back to 1810 when the first forms were introduced. However, the first slot machines were incorporated by Aristocrat, one of the leading software providers with Austrian roots, in 1953.
