文档介绍：The panion to Durkheim Long recognized as a foundational ?gure in the development of social scienti?c thought, Emile Durkheim’s workhas been the subject of intense debate over the years. This authoritative prehensive collection of essays re-examines the impact of Durkheim’s thought, considering the historical contexts of his work as well as evaluating his ideas in relation to current issues and contro- versies. Eminent authorities in the ?eld have contributed to this up-to-date overview, giving readers – both students and academic s–a chance to engage directly with leading ?gures in the ?eld about contemporary trends, ideas, and dilemmas. This volumere?ects the cross-disciplinary application of Durkheim’s theories and will interest scholars of anthropology, political science, cultural studies, and philosophy, as well as sociology. It is a landmark that rede?nes the relevance of Durkheim to the human sciences in the twenty-?rst century, high- lighting in particular the signi?cance of his insights for contemporary moral philosophy and his ever-growing centrality for cultural theory. jeffrey c. alexander is the Lydia Chavenson Saden Professor of Soci- ology, Yale University and Co-Director of the Center for Cultural Sociology. philip smith is Assistant Professor of Sociology and Associate Director of the Center for Cultural Sociology, Yale University.
