About the Author

Emile Durkheim was born in Epinal, France on April 15, 1858. He received a baccalauréats in Letters in 1874 and Sciences in 1875 from the Collège d'Epinal. He became a professor of sociology at the Sorbonne, where he founded and edited the journal L'Annee Sociologique. He is renowned for the show more breadth of his scholarship; for his studies of primitive religion; for creating the concept of anomie (normlessness); for his study of the division of labor; and for his insistence that sociologists must use sociological (e.g., rates of behavior) rather than psychological data. He published several works including His Suicide in 1897. His notion of community, his view that religion forms the basis of all societies, had a profound impact on the course of community studies. He died on November 15, 1917 at the age of 59. (Bowker Author Biography) show less

The Division of Labor in Society by Emile Durkheim

Although I suspect I'd read this before while in graduate school, this reread with the perspective of many years was profitable. Although Durkheim moves on from several of his central claims in this first of his significant publications, the general thrust of his argument is still of great insight and interest.
