Emile Durkheim and the Reformation of Sociology FROM THE PUBLISHER
This book proposes a new representation of Emile Durkheim, as the philosopher and moralist who wanted to renovate rationalism, challenge positivism, reform sociology, and extend Schopenhauer's philosophy to the new domain of sociology. Above all, it highlights Durkheim's vision of sociology as the "science of morality" that would eventually replace moralities based on religion.
Author Biography: Stjepan G. Mestrovic is Professor at Texas A&M University and author of "Durkheim and Postmodern Culture".
