Product Description
Professor Jones gives a succinct account, explanation and critical assessment of Durkheim's sociological theories and methodology. He focuses on four of Durkheim's books --
The Division of Labour in Society (1893),
The Rules of Sociological Method (1895),
Suicide (1897) and
The Elementary Forms of Religious Life (1912). After a chapter analysis of each work, Jones provides an epilogue in which he answers the question `why read the classics?'. This illuminating work is ideal for undergraduate and graduate students.
