This volume challenges prevailing understanding of the two great
founders of sociological thought. In a detailed and systematic way
the author demonstrates how Marx and Durkheim gradually developed
the fundamental frameworks for sociological materialism and
idealism. While most recent interpreters of Marx have placed
alienation and subjectivity at the centre of his work, Professor
Alexander suggests that it was the later Marx's very emphasis on
alienation that allowed him to avoid conceptualizing subjectivity
altogether. In Durkheim's case, by contrast, the author argues that
such objectivist theorizing informed the early work alone, and he
demonstrates that in his later writings Durkheim elaborated an
idealist theory that used religious life as an analytical model for
studying the institutions of secular society.
