Böcker i Routledge Library Editions: Emile Durkheim-serien

Offers an appraisal of Durkheim's method that argues that fundamental errors have been made in interpreting Durkheim. This book also argues that to understand 'The Rules' it is necessary also to understand the context of the French society. It establishes the real and unsuspected complexity of Durkheim's position.

Contains two complimentary studies: the first based on Claude Bernard's theory of scientific knowledge, and the second concerning Emile Durkheim's attempt to provide a philosophical foundation for a scientific sociology in "The Rules of Sociological Method".

Offers an understanding and exploration of the rise and development of modern society, based on two classical theorists, Emile Durkheim and Max Weber. This title begins with an exploration of the points of convergence and divergence in the works of Durkheim and Weber.
