Provides a summary introduction to Emile Durkheim's work through excerpts, an introduction, and commentaries.

Emile Durkheim has a lot to say, scientificially, on how we humans (through species specific behavior) got to where we are now..., and through one's own extrapolation, where we may be headed. Comments and footnotes from the translator(s) indicate the difficulties associated with translations of particular words - a subject fascinating in its own regard. This is not fiction or fantasy but science (some theoretical) and philosophy. Emile Durkheim born 1858; died 1917 - Paris. ( )
