Our website covers the life of this great thinker, and
also includes a complete online version of his "De la division du travail social" (The Division of Labor in
Society), in its original French language form, in which he introduced the concept of "anomie". The
Division of Labor in Society is one of the four most important of
Durkheim's works which also include, "Les Règles
de la méthode sociologique"
(The Rules of Sociological Method), Le Suicide: étude
de sociologie" (Suicide :
A Study in Sociology), and "Les
Formes élémentaires de
la vie religieuse" (The Elementary Forms of
the Religious Life).
