内容简介
······

'If religion generated everything that is essential in society, this is because the idea of society is the soul of religion.' In The Elementary Forms of Religious Life (1912), Emile Durkheim set himself the task of discovering the enduring source of human social identity. He investigated what he considered to be the simplest form of documented religion – totemism among the Aborigines of Australia. Aboriginal religion was an avenue 'to yield an understanding of the religious nature of man, by showing us an essential and permanent aspect of humanity'. The need and capacity of men and women to relate socially lies at the heart of Durkheim's exploration, in which religion embodies the beliefs that shape our moral universe. The Elementary Forms has been applauded and debated by sociologists, anthropologists, ethnographers, philosophers, and theologians, and continues to speak to new generations about the origin and nature of religion and society. This new, lightly abridged edition provides an excellent introduction to Durkheim's ideas. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.

money is the most powerful totem in modernity

这堂课交memo的firm deadline是五点,我在4点59分的时候交了memo⋯⋯相比较于马克思和韦伯,涂尔干对我来说算是最陌生的了。不过还是很喜欢这本书,很有趣。同时我也觉得Steensland教涂尔干的方式很好。实际上过去几十年中,美国社会学的课堂上已经形成了一些阐释这些经典大家的approach,比如涂尔干的functionalism和马克思的conflict theory对举。Ste…

宗教作为解剖社会的切口

“这种构成宗教经验的…绝对永恒的客观原因,其实就是社会。” 上海俗话港额老精准,啥叫“请侬吃生活”,啥叫“做做规矩”,都是社会嘛。现实最大,社会最真。
