This book provides an exciting, accessible and wide-ranging guide
to the development of classical and contemporary Durkheimian
thought. Jonathan Fish offers a re-reading of the writings of Emile
Durkheim and Talcott Parsons on religion. He aims to move beyond
rationalistic readings which have neglected the key significance of
collective human emotion in Durkheim's accounts of the link between
society, religion and morality. He goes on to look at the
development of these ideas in the work of Parsons and more recent
Durkheimian thinkers. Making an important contribution both to
studies of Durkheim and the Durkheimian tradition and to the
sociology of emotion, the book is distinctive in arguing that
religion is an essential backdrop for understanding emotion. In
making this claim the author provides a key to re-establishing
links between the sociology of religion and the wider discipline of
sociology.
