Émile Durkheim
Społeczeństwo jest odrębną rzeczywistością, która kształtuje jednostki, a gdy jego wspólne reguły się załamują, ludzie tracą orientację.
Umiejscowienie
Uczynił socjologię odrębną dyscypliną: fakty społeczne należy traktować jak rzeczy; społeczeństwa spaja solidarność mechaniczna lub organiczna, zagraża im anomia, a w tym, co uznają za święte, czczą same siebie.
Kluczowe idee
- Fakt społeczny
- Solidarność mechaniczna i organiczna
- Anomia
- Świadomość zbiorowa
- Sacrum i profanum
Uczniowie: Marcel Mauss, Taha Husajn

Jego rozprawa doktorska: w miarę wzrostu podziału pracy „mechaniczna” solidarność podobieństwa ustępuje „organicznej” solidarności wzajemnej zależności – wbrew poglądowi Spencera, że społeczeństwo spajają wyłącznie umowa i własny interes.
Fakty społeczne traktuj jak rzeczy.
Nawet wskaźniki najbardziej prywatnego z czynów zależą od integracji i regulacji społecznej: samobójstwo egoistyczne, altruistyczne i anomiczne – wzór socjologii zbudowanej na statystyce.
Z australijskiego totemizmu: religia dzieli świat na sacrum i profanum, a czcząc sacrum, społeczeństwo czci samo siebie; nawet kategorie myślenia mają społeczne pochodzenie.
Stanowisko
Durkheim insisted that society is a reality of its own, not just the sum of individuals. Social facts – laws, morals, language, religious practices – exist outside the individual and constrain him, and must be studied “as things”, objectively (The Rules of Sociological Method, 1895). In The Division of Labour in Society he distinguished two forms of social cohesion: mechanical solidarity, the bond of likeness in small societies with a strong collective consciousness and repressive law, and organic solidarity, the bond of difference in societies held together by the division of labour and by restitutive law such as contract. Rapid change can produce anomie, a state without guiding norms. Even the most private act shows the social: Suicide (1897) found rates that varied with social integration and regulation and distinguished egoistic, altruistic and anomic suicide. In The Elementary Forms of Religious Life (1912), drawing on reports of Australian totemism, he defined religion by the division between sacred and profane and argued that in its rites a society worships itself, renewed in moments of “collective effervescence”. Critics later faulted his functionalism and his reliance on second-hand ethnography; anthropology, structuralism and Bourdieu built on him.
Życie i kontekst
Émile Durkheim was born in 1858 in Épinal in Lorraine into a family of rabbis and studied at the École normale supérieure in Paris. After teaching philosophy at lycées and a study visit to German universities in 1885–86, he taught social science and education in Bordeaux from 1887, where in 1896 he founded the journal L’Année sociologique (first volume 1898); his doctoral thesis of 1893 was The Division of Labour in Society. During the Dreyfus affair he defended the Dreyfusards in “Individualism and the Intellectuals” (1898). From 1902 he taught at the Sorbonne, where he trained a school of collaborators, among them his nephew Marcel Mauss. The death of his son André on the Balkan front in the First World War broke him; he died in Paris in 1917.
