Emile Durkheim (1858–1917) was a French sociologist who formally established the academic discipline and, with Karl Marx and Max Weber, is commonly cited as the principal architect of modern social science.
"Even for the psychoanalytically oriented reader this book holds
more than merely historical interest. One cannot help being
impressed by the wealth of knowledge and the perspicacity revealed
in it, and there have certainly been few more compact presentations
of socio-psychological problems…Psychoanalysts no less than
sociologists will find the study of Durkheim’s book instructive and
rewarding. The editor and translators are to be commended for
making the work available in an excellent and remarkably lucid
translation.” —Psychoanalytic Quarterly
"Durkheim's contribution was a very considerable one...No
investigation of the subject can disregard his views."—American
Journal of Psychiatry
