What I am going to do is to select sentences from each source and translate the in Dutch and in French written texts into English.  While translating texts, I will follow the same sequence as noted above. My focus is on the social.

1. P.32. An important factor for the origine of sociology is named restaurationmentality. (From: J.M.M. de Valk, Een linkse ( a labour) sociology?, in De linkse sociologie? Referaten en coreferaten van J.M.M. de Valk e.a., Utrecht, 1968, p.11), which came into operation in Europe, after the French Revolution. Meaning, to aim to restore the old political and social relations. Sociology was seen as an antidota against the so called poisoned social desintegration after the revolution (from: L. Bramson, The political context of sociology, Princeton paperback, 1970, p.12). And so a conservative tradition was introduced into sociology (De Jager, 1975, pp.84 e.v.): countering the desintegration of old social relations after the growth of industrialisation and growth of secularisme. Also countering the strongly felt individualism trend, most sociologists in that period of time emphasised the necessity of stability
and order for social life. They strongly focused on the conditions for stability and order and they found and formulated the opinions incorporaties by the group or by the social system (R.A. Nisbet, The sociological tradition, London, 1967, chapter 3). Social desintegration and social incertainty were seen as disliked irregularities of the normal condition. This restaurative/ refurbisment like sociology pushed the social totality, the collective in front and the individual in the back. Today, this is still the mainstream sociological thinking, to give a central position to the groups. According to Gouldner (Gouldner, 1975, p.295) scientist in the field of sociology tend to respect and adapt to the main contemporary powers. On top of that, the sociologists have the desire to serve the power of the national state.

2.  P.84-87. Please come back tomorrow. I am quite sleepy now.
