Emile Durkheim Book

Articles from Durkheim's contemporaries such as Halbwahcs, Davy, Small, and Bougle are included here alongside the work of contemporary scholars such as Merton, Lukes, Gane, and Mestrovic. Introductions to each thematically-arranged section are also included. This work completes the project of the earlier set of assessments, concentrating on four areas: the reception of Durkheim's work during his life; the relationship between his ideas and French society; his influence on his followers; and his relevance today. The result is the most thorough assessment of Durkheim's thought anywhere in the English language.
