Emile Durkheim's On Suicide (1897) was a groundbreaking book in the
field of sociology. Traditionally, suicide was thought to be a
matter of purely individual despair but Durkheim recognized that
the phenomenon had a social dimension. He believed that if anything
can explain how individuals relate to society, then it is suicide:
Why does it happen? What goes wrong? Why do certain social,
religious or racial groups have higher incidences of suicide than
others? As Durkheim explored these questions he became convinced
that abnormally high or low levels of social integration lead to an
increased likelihood of suicide. On Suicide was the result of his
extensive research. Divided into three parts - individual reasons
for suicide, social forms of suicide and the relation of suicide to
society as a whole - Durkheim's revelations have fascinated,
challenged and informed readers for over a century.
