Text Quotes
There are two types of men: the great and the small (Emile Durkheim Quotes)
There is a collective as well as an individual humor inclining peoples to sadness or cheerfulness, making them see things in bright or somber lights. In fact, only society can pass a collective opinion on the value of human life; for this the individual is incompetent (Emile Durkheim Quotes)
Men have been obliged to make for themselves a notion of what religion is, long before the science of religions started its methodical comparisons (Emile Durkheim Quotes)
To pursue a goal which is by definition unattainable is to condemn oneself to a state of perpetual unhappiness (Emile Durkheim Quotes)
The Christian conceives of his abode on Earth in no more delightful colors than the Jainist sectarian. He sees in it only a time of sad trial; he also thinks that his true country is not of this world (Emile Durkheim Quotes)
A society whose members are united by the fact that they think in the same way in regard to the sacred world and its relations with the profane world, and by the fact that they translate these common ideas into common practices, is what is called a Church. In all history, we do not find a single religion without a Church (Emile Durkheim Quotes)
Man seeks to learn, and man kills himself because of the loss of cohesion in his religious society; he does not kill himself because of his learning. It is certainly not the learning he acquires that disorganizes religion; but the desire for knowledge wakens because religion becomes disorganized (Emile Durkheim Quotes)
The liberal professions, and in a wider sense the well-to-do classes, are certainly those with the liveliest taste for knowledge and the most active intellectual life. (Emile Durkheim Quotes)
One cannot long remain so absorbed in contemplation of emptiness without being increasingly attracted to it. In vain, one bestows on it the name of infinity; this does not change its nature. (Emile Durkheim Quotes)
To pursue a goal which is by definition unattainable is to condemn oneself to a state of perpetual unhappiness. (Emile Durkheim Quotes)
From the physical point of view, a man is nothing more than a system of cells, or from the mental point of view, than a system of representations; in either case, he differs only in degree from animals. (Emile Durkheim Quotes)
Social life comes from a double source, the likeness of consciences and the division of social labour. (Emile Durkheim Quotes)
At first sight, one does not see what relations there can be between religion and logic (Emile Durkheim Quotes)
There is no sociology worthy of the name which does not possess a historical character (Emile Durkheim Quotes)
When mores are sufficient, laws are unnecessary; when mores are insufficient, laws are unenforceable (Emile Durkheim Quotes)
Religious representations are collective representations which express collective realities (Emile Durkheim Quotes)
Socialism is not a science, a sociology in miniature: it is a cry of pain (Emile Durkheim Quotes)
The first and most fundamental rule is: Consider social facts as things (Emile Durkheim Quotes)
When man discovered the mirror, he began to lose his soul (Emile Durkheim Quotes)
Reality seems valueless by comparison with the dreams of fevered imaginations; reality is therefore abandoned (Emile Durkheim Quotes)
When morals are sufficient, law is unnecessary; when morals are insufficient, law is unenforceable (Emile Durkheim Quotes)
Faith is not uprooted by dialectic proof; it must already be deeply shaken by other causes to be unable to withstand the shock of argument (Emile Durkheim Quotes)
Although our moral conscience is a part of our consciousness, we do not feel ourselves on an equality with it. In this voice which makes itself heard only to give us orders and establish prohibitions, we cannot recognize our own voices; the very tone in which it speaks to us warns us that it expresses something within us that is not of ourselves (Emile Durkheim Quotes)
A monomaniac is a sick person whose mentality is perfectly healthy in all respects but one; he has a single flaw, clearly localized. At times, for example, he has an unreasonable and absurd desire to drink or steal or use abusive language; but all his other acts and all his other thoughts are strictly correct (Emile Durkheim Quotes)
If religion has given birth to all that is essential in society, it is because the idea of society is the soul of religion (Emile Durkheim Quotes)
Religious phenomena are naturally arranged in two fundamental categories: beliefs and rites. The first are states of opinion, and consist in representations; the second are determined modes of action (Emile Durkheim Quotes)
A person is not merely a single subject distinguished from all the others. It is especially a being to which is attributed a relative autonomy in relation to the environment with which it is most immediately in contact (Emile Durkheim Quotes)
Our whole social environment seems to us to be filled with forces which really exist only in our own minds (Emile Durkheim Quotes)
That men have an interest in knowing the world which surrounds them, and consequently that their reflection should have been applied to it at an early date, is something that everyone will readily admit (Emile Durkheim Quotes)
It is only by historical analysis that we can discover what makes up man, since it is only in the course of history that he is formed (Emile Durkheim Quotes)
