Selected Writings

Émile Durkheim’s “Selected Writings,” which Anthony Giddens edited, is a classic compilation that summarizes Durkheim’s significant contributions to sociology. This 1972 book provides insights into Durkheim’s ideas on morality, the sociology of knowledge, social solidarity, and the division of labor by drawing on a wide range of his writings, some of which have never been translated. It’s a crucial tool for comprehending social theory’s underlying principles and Durkheim’s long-lasting influence on the discipline.
