Until recently the subject of suffering and evil was neglected
in the sociological world and was almost absent in Durkheimian
studies as well. This book aims to fill the gap, with particular
reference to the Durkheimian tradition, by exploring the different
meanings that the concepts of evil and suffering have in Durkheim's
works, together with the general role they play in his sociology.
It also examines the meanings and roles of these concepts in
relation to suffering and evil in the work of other authors within
the group of the Ann(r)e sociologique up until the beginning of
World War II. Finally, the Durkheimian legacy in its wider aspects
is assessed, with particular reference to the importance of the
Durkheimian categories in understanding and conceptualizing
contemporary forms of evil and suffering.
