Émile Durkheim

This volume focuses on three closely-connected aspects of Émile Durkheim's work: his sociology of justice, his sociology of morality and his political sociology. These areas of his thought are the most relevant and practical today in considering fundamental problems of contemporary societies and they provide many of the most important insights of his social theory. This collection presents Durkheim's thought in an unusual and revealing light and shows him as a key social and political thinker for the twenty-first century.
