Routledge Revivals Sociology and Philosophy First published in English in 1953, this volume represents a collection of three essays written by seminal sociologist and philosopher 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 phenom enon, be it a sociological or psychological one, is relatively independent of its matrix. The essays provide a valuable insight into Durkheimian thought on sociological and philosophical matters and offer an excellent guide to Durkheim for students of both disciplines.
