Emile Durkheim on Morality and Society

The first two sections of this volume set the context for the development of Durkheim's sociology of morality. Section I, 'The French Tradition of Social Thought, ' gives Durkheim's picture of how his sociology is to be situated relative to the general French tradition. Section II, 'Sociology and Social Action, ' shows Durkheim grappling with moral and political issues in his society and indicates the immediate social context of his thinking. The remaining sections indicate some of the major substantive areas of Durkheim's sociology of morality.
