Produktbeschreibung
Suicide: A Study In Sociology is a groundbreaking sociological work that examines the social causes of suicide. The book argues that suicide is often a result of the individual's lack of integration into society. Durkheim identifies different social factors and explores how varying degrees of societal cohesion or isolation can impact the likelihood of an individual taking their own life. He categorizes suicide into different types, such as egoistic, altruistic, and anomic, based on the individual's relationship with society. Durkheim s approach is deeply rooted in social theory, emphasizing the role of societal norms, values, and collective consciousness in shaping individual behaviors. The work explores how both social instability and social cohesion contribute to suicide, providing a deeper understanding of its causes beyond individual psychological factors. Through empirical research and statistical analysis, Durkheim presents a sociological perspective on a deeply personal and tragic phenomenon, offering invaluable insight into the relationship between individuals and society, as well as the social forces that influence personal decisions.
Autorenporträt
David mile Durkheim was a French sociologist born in pinal, France, on April 15, 1858. Widely regarded as one of the principal architects of modern social science, Durkheim is credited with establishing sociology as a formal academic discipline. His work, grounded in empirical research and focused on the study of social phenomena, made a significant impact on the development of social theory. Durkheim s intellectual influences include Auguste Comte and Immanuel Kant, and he, in turn, greatly influenced later sociologists such as Robert K. Merton, Talcott Parsons, and Erving Goffman. Durkheim's most notable works include his studies on the division of labor, the role of religion in society, and the causes of suicide. He believed that society exerts a powerful influence on the individual, and his theories on social cohesion and anomie continue to shape sociological thought. Durkheim was educated at the prestigious cole normale sup rieure and spent much of his academic career in France, where he also raised his children, Marie and Andr Durkheim. He passed away on November 15, 1917, in Paris at the age of 59.
