Durkheim and the Law Paperback / softback
by Steven (New York University, USA) Lukes, Andrew (University of CA-San Diego, La Jolla, USA) Scull
Paperback / softback
Description
The law was central to Durkheim's sociological theory and to his efforts to establish sociology as a distinctive discipline.
This revised and updated second edition of Durkheim and the Law brings together key texts which demonstrate the development of Durkheim's thinking on the sociology of law, several of them newly translated here. The editors, both world-renowned Durkheim scholars, provide a comprehensive analysis of the intellectual significance and distinctiveness of Durkheim's work on the subject.
They show how his ideas evolved over time; how they contributed to the development of a distinctively Durkheimian vision of a science of society; and they provide a comprehensive assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of his theorizing about law, as well as its continuing relevance for contemporary sociology. Enriched with a new introduction and useful learning features, this book remains a major reference for students of socio-legal theory.
