Emile Durkheim (1858-1917) was one of the founders of modern sociology. "Ethics and the Sociology of Morals" (La science positive de la morale en Allemagne) laid the foundation for Durkheim's future work. More than a review of current thought, it was a proclamation that ethics needed to be liberated from its philosophical bondage and developed as a distinct branch of sociology. Written when Durkheim was charting the course of his own research, it provides a unique key to the interpretation of his earlier work and presents a number of points of Durkheim's ethical theory which are of considerable interest in light of current ethical theory. This volume makes available in English a crucial essay by a master of social thought.
David Emile Durkheim (1858 - 1917) was a French sociologist. He formally established the academic discipline and -- with W.E.B. Du Bois, Karl Marx, and Max Weber -- is commonly cited as the principal architect of modern social science. His books include The Division of Labour in Society (1893), The Rules of Sociological Method (1895), and The Elementary Forms of the Religious Life (1912).
