Emile Durkheim, one of the founding fathers of sociology, has been
the subject of many studies. But this book is the first to
introduce the individual and collective work of his colleagues and
disciples who formed with him the 'French school of sociology'.
Such an association of talented scholars was a unique event in the
history of sociology and a decisive landmark in the development of
the discipline. In this book, examination of the texts of the
Durkheimians is combined with analysis of the social and
intellectual group attempted to create a new social science. In
this respect, the present book is also instructive about the birth
and institutionalisation of academic disciplines in general. But
studying the work of the Durkheimians goes beyond historical
research; the Durkeimians can still offer lessons in the
exploration of the territory of sociology, an area in which so much
virgin land remains unmapped.
