Emile Durkheim, whose writings still exert a great influence over
sociological thought, has often been called the father of the
sociology of education. He lectured extensively on the subject, and
was convinced of its necessary place in social theory. But his work
cannot be fully understood unless it is realized that he had an
overriding concern form morals. He saw the relationship between
morals and education as almost that of theory to practice, yet he
never wrote a systematic work on the subject of morals, although
for some time he planned such a book and managed just before he
died in 1917 to write the opening introduction. This collection of
Durkheim's work on morals and education brings together many items
translated into English for the first time. A wide selection of
articles, reviews and discussions has been included in this book,
covering such subjects as, defining morals, the science of
morality, moral facts, relativism, the relation of science to
morality; and in education, problems of definition, childhood, sex
education, Rousseau's 'Emile', teaching secular morality and the
effectiveness of moral doctrines. The book also included an
introduction to each of the two sections, as well as bibliographies
which deal with Durkheim's own works on morals and education,
together with those covering references to his writing on these
subjects written by others.
