Description
Professional Ethics and Civic Morals by Émile Durkheim is a foundational work in sociology that explores the relationship between individual morality and societal structures. In this book, Durkheim argues that the state plays a vital role in promoting moral values and protecting individual rights. Durkheim's central question is how to reconcile individual freedom with social order in an industrial society. He proposes that a civil religion, based on professional codes and civic values, can counteract the negative effects of individualism. This idea has resonated with contemporary debates about inequality and wealth distribution. A new introduction by Bryan S.Turner provides context for Durkheim's work, highlighting its relevance to modern discussions of morality, politics, and social justice.
