Funny, I was thinking something similar recently. For a midterm
assignment I want to try doing a Bayesian analysis that identifies
various perspectives (marxist, structural functionalist, etc etc).

But it seems hard to e.g. find full plain text English versions of
Adam Smith, Durkheim, Marx, etc. to feed into it. :-/

I'd prefer not to have to do a massive amount of scanning, OCR, or
kludgy scraping, but I can be quite flexible about the what the
author, paper, etc are so long as it's a clear example of one of the
various philosophical perspectives we're supposed to talk about.
Ideally I'd have at least a few dozen of each.

Any suggestions on sourcing?
