Description: The Division of Labor in Society by Emile Durkheim, Professor Steven Lukes Translation of: De la division du travail social. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Revised for the first time in over thirty years, this edition of Emile Durkheims masterful work on the nature and scope of sociology is updated with a new introduction and improved translation by leading scholar Steven Lukes that puts Durkheims work into context for the twenty-first century reader. When it was originally published, The Division of Labor in Society was an entirely original work on the nature of labor and production as they were being shaped by the industrial revolution. Emile Durkheims seminal work studies the nature of social solidarity and explores the ties that bind one person to the next in order to hold society together. This revised and updated second edition fluently conveys Durkheims arguments for contemporary readers. Leading Durkheim scholar Steve Lukess new introduction builds upon Lewis Cosers original--which places the work in its intellectual and historical context and pinpoints its central ideas and arguments. Lukes explains the texts continued significance as a tool to think about and deal with problems that face us today. The original translation has been revised and reworked in order to make Durkheims arguments clearer and easier to read. The Division of Labor in Society is an essential resource for students and scholars hoping to deepen their understanding of one of the pioneering voices in modern sociology and twentieth-century social thought. Author Biography Emile Durkheim (1858-1917) was a French sociologist who formally established the academic discipline and, with Karl Marx and Max Weber, is commonly cited as the principal architect of modern social science. Steve Lukes is a professor of sociology at New York University. An emeritus Fellow of the British Academy and an editor of the European Journal of Sociology, he is the author of Emile Durkheim: His Life and Work and, most recently, Moral Relativism. Review "If one had to choose one foundational text in sociology--this has to be it. Its critique of market society as well as its radical treatment of capitalisms diseases are even more pertinent today than they were a century ago."--Michael Burawoy "Department of Sociology, University of California, Berkeley" Review Quote "If one had to choose one foundational text in sociology--this has to be it. Its critique of market society as well as its radical treatment of capitalisms diseases are even more pertinent today than they were a century ago."
