Description
"Emile Durkheim is universally recognised as one of the founding fathers of sociology with his work enabling sociology to be accepted as a discipline within the academic world. The famous French Sociologist produced works on division of labour, methodology, suicide and education, but none as prolific as his work on religion, culminating in his controversial book "The Elementary Forms of the Religious Life". Although his influence continued long after his death in 1917, this is the first work to look in detail at his work in the whole field of religion. What is presented here is a selection of translations from Durkheim's work on religion, beginning with early reviews and proceeding with articles and extracts from books, presented in order of original publication. Also included are detailed bibliographies and abstracts together with contributions by such writers as Van Gennep, Goldenweiser and Stanner. This book will not only be of interest to those studying sociology and anthropology, but also to those studying history of religions or the philosophy of religion, as well as anyone with an interest in Durkheim. William S. F. Pickering has been an Anglican priest since 1950. He was a lecturer in Sociology at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne. He is currently the General Secretary of the British Centre for Durkheimian Studies, at Oxford University. Among his other publications, also published by James Clarke & Co are "Durkheim's Sociology of Religion", "Durkheim: Essays on Morals and Education" and "Anglo-Catholicism: A Study in Religious Ambiguity"."
