Defending the Durkheimian Tradition de Jonathan S. Fish

Defending the Durkheimian Tradition: Religion, Emotion and Morality: Rethinking Classical Sociology

Jonathan S. Fish

en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 iun 2020

This book provides an exciting, accessible and wide-ranging guide to the development of classical and contemporary Durkheimian thought. Jonathan Fish offers a re-reading of the writings of Emile Durkheim and Talcott Parsons on religion. He aims to move beyond rationalistic readings which have neglected the key significance of collective human emotion in Durkheim's accounts of the link between society, religion and morality. He goes on to look at the development of these ideas in the work of Parsons and more recent Durkheimian thinkers. Making an important contribution both to studies of Durkheim and the Durkheimian tradition and to the sociology of emotion, the book is distinctive in arguing that religion is an essential backdrop for understanding emotion. In making this claim the author provides a key to re-establishing links between the sociology of religion and the wider discipline of sociology.

Recenzii

’This book offers an important and timely restatement of the rich potentialities of the Durkheimian tradition for contemporary sociologists and social theorists. Not only is his explication of Durkheim’s key arguments detailed and sensitive to its nuances, but Fish's account of Parsons's work makes a significant contribution to the current reassessment of this remoulding of the Durkheimian project. Fish's discussion of the resurgence of, and opposition to, Durkheimian currents in postmodern thought is also helpful and informative. This will be a very useful text for students in sociology and social theory, and should be of considerable interest to other writers in the field.’ Philip A. Mellor, University of Leeds, UK ’This ambitious book goes to the heart of contemporary neo-Durkheimianism. Encounters with Maffesoli, Mestrovic and Baudrillard enable the retrieval of an entire tradition formerly mired in rationalism and scientism. Even Talcott Parsons emerges from the rationalistic shadows. The new emotion-centred, religious sociology of Durkheim that is reclaimed here will set the tone for the next phase of Durkheim scholarship.’ Richard Kilminster, University of Leeds, UK
