A classic book about the phenomenon of suicide and its social
causes written by one of the world's most influential sociologists.
Emile Durkheim's "Suicide "addresses the phenomenon of suicide and
its social causes. Written by one of the world's most influential
sociologists, this classic argues that suicide primarily results
from a lack of integration of the individual into society. "Suicide
"provides readers with an understanding of the impetus for suicide
and its psychological impact on the victim, family, and society.
First published in English in 1953, this volume represents a
collection of three essays written by seminal sociologist and
philsopher Emile Durkheim in which he puts forward the thesis that
society is both a dynamic system and the seat of moral life. Each
essay stands alone, but their connecting thread is the dialectic
demonstration that a phenomenon, be a sociological or psychological
one, is relatively independent of its matrix.
The essays provide a valuable insight into Durkeheimian thought
on sociological and philsophical matters and offer an excellent
guide to Durkheim for students of both disciplines.
The Evolution of Educational Thought is Durkheim's single most
ambitious and comprehensive work of historical sociological
analysis. The book traces the development of French education from
its origins in the early church up through the nineteenth century,
combining in one integral study an inquiry into educational
philosophies, doctrines, and discourses of curriculum and pedagogy.
The Evolution of Educational Thought is a case study in the making
of the modern world and of the moral challenges that face it, a
contribution to the historical sociology of morality that uses the
educational sphere as its institutional grounding. In a new
introductory essay written especially for this edition, Mustafa
Emirbayer argues that this neglected masterpiece by one of the
founders of sociology ranks as one of his most challenging and
provocative works. He shows how its republication after decades of
relative obscurity will add new dimensions to current debates in
historical and educational sociology and shed new light on the
moral problems and dilemmas of modern societies.
First Published in 2005. Emile Durkheim's writing on education is
well-known and widely recognized to be of great significance. In
these lectures - given for the first time in 1902 to meet an urgent
contemporary need - Durkheim presents a 'vast and bold fresco' of
educational development in Europe. He covers nearly eight hundred
years of history. The book culminates in two long chapters of
positive recommendations for modern curriculum, which should be of
special interest and value to those concerned with education
policy, in whatever capacity.
Durkheim's study of socialism, first published in English in 1959,
is a document of exceptional intellectual interest and a genuine
milestone in the history of sociological theory. It presents us
with the sociological theories of a truly first-rate thinker and
his extensive commentary upon another key figure in the history of
sociological thought, Henri Saint-Simon. The core of this volume
contains Durkheim's presentation of Saint-Simon's ideas, their
sources and their development.
In this influential work, first published in English in 1963,
Durkheim and Mauss claim that the individual mind is capable of
classification and they seek the origin of the 'classificatory
function' in society. On the basis of an intensive examination of
forms and principles of symbolic classification reported from the
Australian aborigines, the Zuni and traditional China, they try to
establish a formal correspondence between social and symbolic
classification. From this they argue that the mode of
classification is determined by the form of society and that the
notions of space, time, hierarchy, number, class and other such
cognitive categories are products of society. Dr Needham's
introduction assesses the validity of Durkhiem and Mauss's
argument, traces its continued influence in various disciplines,
and indicates its analytical value for future researches in social
anthropology.

Emile Durkheim is one of the founding fathers of sociology and
Professional Ethics and Civic Morals is one of his most neglected
yet insightful works. Durkheim's view that the instability of
industrial society was connected to the decline of religion and his
characterization of the state as the ultimate moral force in
society reveal his lifelong engagement with the relationship
between the individual and society. In Professional Ethics and
Civic Morals Durkheim poses a major question: given the negative
social consequences of unfettered markets, which caused what he
termed 'anomie', how is the state to reconcile morality with the
market? Durkheim argues that the answer is to be found in the
evolution of a civil religion, in the form of professional codes
and civic values, which would counteract the effects of
individualism, just as guilds had regulated medieval economic life.
Arguing that the state has a vital role to play in moral life and
that morals are at bottom social facts - a controversial position
which drew considerable criticism - Durkheim also argues that the
state had a duty to protect the rights of the individual, via a
form of cosmopolitan patriotism. Durkheim also articulates a highly
original and critical interpretation of the rules around property
and inheritance - a perspective which resonates with debates about
inequality and the redistribution of wealth today. Included in this
Routledge Classics edition is a new introduction by Bryan S.Turner,
placing Durkheim in contemporary context and outlining the key
tenets of Professional Ethics and Civic Morals.

How can difference in the rate of suicide be explained? That is the
central question in this classic work by the father of modern
sociology, Emile Durkheim. What interested Durkheim was not so much
the reasons for an individual's suicide but why one society had a
higher rate of suicide than another and why there were variations
between social classes or religious groups In his research he used
the then-radical approach of applying the methods of natural
science to the study of society. His conclusion was that it was the
degree of social cohesion in a particular group and the extent to
which members of that group felt they belonged that so affected the
rate of suicide. So far-sighted were his ideas that this work has
served as a model of social theory for more than 100 years.
