Emile Durkhime(1858-1917)

Emile Durkhime was a French Sociologist and have had a more lasting impact on modern Sociology. He believed that we must study social life with the same objectivity as scientists study the natural world. His first principle of sociology was 'study social facts as things'. By this he meant that social life could be analysed as rigorously as objects or events in nature.

For Durkhime, the main intellectual concern of sociology is the study of social facts. According to him, the social facts are ways of acting, thinking or feeling that are external to individuals and have their own reality outside the lives and perceptions of individual people. Durkhime conceded that social facts are difficult to study. Because they are invisible and intangible, social facts cannot be observed directly. Instead, their properties must be revealed indirectly by analysing their effects or by considering attempts thya have been made at their expression, such as laws, religious texts or written rules of conduct.

Durkhime was interested in social and moral solidarity, in other words, what holds the society together and keeps it from descending into chaos. Solidarity is maintained when individuals are successfully integrated into social groups and are regulated by a set of shared values and customs.

Durkhime contrasted two types of solidarity, mechanical and organic, and related them to the division of labour. According to him, traditional cultures/socities with a low division of labour are characterized by mechanical solidarity. Because most members of the society are involved in similar opportunities, they are bounded together by common experience and shared beliefs. He argued that specialization of tasks and the increasing social differentiation in advanced socities would lead to a new order featuring organic solidarity.
