Moving back and forth between the history of philosophy and the
contributions of philosophers in his own day, Durkheim takes up
topics as diverse as philosophical psychology, logic, ethics, and
metaphysics, and seeks to articulate a unified philosophical
position. Remarkably, the 'social realism' that is so
characteristic of his later work - where he insists, famously, that
social facts cannot be reduced to psychological or economic ones,
and that such facts constrain human action in important ways - is
totally absent in these early lectures. For this reason, they will
be of special interest to students of the history of the social
sciences, for they shed important light on the course of Durkheim's
intellectual development. Intellectual historians,
historically-minded philosophers, and French historians will all
find the lectures a valuable historical document. Insofar as they
speak to the philosophical foundations of Durkheim's thought, they
should also be of great interest to social theorists."
