The classic and unabridged work on the sociology of religion by one of the founders of the modern social science of sociology—now presented in a quality centennial edition. Émile Durkheim examines religion as a social phenomenon, across time and geographic boundaries. Some of the most basic forms of social organization are analyzed, along with their beliefs and practices, to determine what is fundamental and shared by societies about faith. [Note: though this description may appear under others' versions, only the Quid Pro edition (with the red cover) includes hyperaccurate proofreading, proper formatting, linked TOC and notes, and modern presentation.]
Part of the 'Classics of the Social Sciences' Series from Quid Pro Books: quality NOOKbook formatting features fully-linked footnotes, active table of contents, and the original Index—plus embedded page numbers from the standard print editions, for continuity of citations and syllabi across digital and print platforms: a very useful feature for research, classwork, and group assignments. Most of all, it's been proofread with care and attention to detail, to promote accuracy and remain faithful to the original Swain translation. These features are unlike any digital version available before—ebook or online—at any price. Without linked notes, other versions may be unnavigable, sporting hundreds of footnote "1." And we sincerely doubt that Durkheim originally wrote (as others present it!) that “all religions can be compared to each other, and since all are specie s of the same ^ass.” The author and this important classic of sociology deserve better.
By examining some of the most basic forms of religion, particularly in aboriginal Australia and native America, and using a creative sociological and anthropological approach, Durkheim discovered the core of what separates religion from ritual, mysticism, science, and mere magic—of what makes the soul more than a spirit. He lay bare the notion that the "primitive" rite, or any religion really, is mainly about fear. This work is simply part of the canon of its field, finally in a readable digital format. It includes 2012 introductory Notes of the Series Editor, Steven Alan Childress, Ph.D., J.D., a senior professor at Tulane University, to explain the use of its functional footnotes, references and links, as well as photographs.
Also in the Series are modern republications, including quality ebook editions, of Neil Smelser's THEORY OF COLLECTIVE BEHAVIOR and SOCIOLOGICAL THEORY, Talcott Parsons' THE SOCIAL SYSTEM, and Philip Selznick's TVA AND THE GRASS ROOTS and LEADERSHIP IN ADMINISTRATION. They are introduced and explained by leading contemporary scholars in the field. Please look for Quid Pro editions of these works, as they are the quality versions that reflect proper formatting and accurate rendition of the original text.
