I'm admire...



EMILE DURKHEIM

This author is one of the classics of sociology. He was born in Épinel France in April 15 of 1858 and he died November 15 of 1917. His life is marked by the study of social facts, and he indicates that they are "things", that's relevant to the development of the sociology.

He's represents the structural funcionalism paradigm, a new school for social sciences. In her life this theoretical study social problems, for example the suicide, for to prove the regularity on the particular facts. With this he can think the society and he can to treat as a phenomenon distinct the psychological study.

I Like Durkheim because he changes the form of see the reality,
the social reality beyond the sum of individuals. Thanks to him, we can study the social regularity, by way of a structure. The things that are in society are regularities and constant!

  1. Durkheim is a master. I like his books so much.
    By the way, I think that the notion of class of Bourdieu is on the center of his society's theory. The notion of habitus, field or illusio is a part of his social theory. I mean, when we analize societys we use the notion of field of power, classes, capitals, etc. But strictly, the concept of classes is only an element among other in his social theory.
    See you.
    A morir!! hahahah
