Contents:

The reform that contained all other reforms -- The subtlety of things -- The perfection of personality -- A l'e;cole des choses -- The yoke of necessity.

Review: "This book explores the development of Durkheim's social realism. Durkheim argued that social facts should be studied as real, concrete things, but Professor Jones argues that his social realism was less a sociological method than a way of speaking and thinking about social phenomena through which Durkheim hoped to secure the allegiance of French citizens to the Third Republic. Professor Jones' book, based on many years of research in this area, takes advantage for the first time of newly discovered lecture notes from Durkheim's philosophy class of 1883-4 and explores the significance of German social science in Durkheim's thought." "The Development of Durkheim's Social Realism will be of value to graduate students and scholars in sociology, social theory, social and political philosophy and history of ideas."--Jacket.
