For Durkheim is a timely and original contribution to the debate about Durkheim at a time when his concerns on ethics, morality and civil religion have much relevance for our own troubled and divided society.

Recenzii

'Going back to the late, symbolic Durkheim has nourished the emergence of cultural sociology in the present day. For three decades, Edward Tiryakian has passionately and creatively cultivated this classical source, making the cultural Durkheim relevant to contemporary social issues and theoretical problems. He is one of the fathers of Durkheimian sociology today.' Jeffrey Alexander, Yale University, USA 'In For Durkheim Tiryakian has given us a vibrantly contemporary Durkheim. Ignoring Merton's famous warning to "forget the founders," Tiryakian has shown us a Durkheim who is at the cutting edge with respect to many of the issues that most concern sociologists today. This is a book to read and to teach.' Robert N. Bellah, University of California, USA 'For Durkheim is a delightful collection of attractively written essays that record their author's lifelong and very personal engagement with Durkheim's thought. They explore the context in which he lived and worked, some of the issues that preoccupied him and the illumination his ideas can bring to urgent contemporary concerns.' Steven Lukes, New York University, USA '... this volume displays impressive theoretical sophistication, currency, and depth of understanding, a testament to the author’s clarity of focus, despite the breadth and diversity of his learning and of the topics to which he has variously applied it... the book is a fitting monument to Edward Tiryakian’s life work, and more than a retrospective, it is a call for a renewed and a theoretically informed sociology rooted in a tradition of scholarship and engaged with questions of moral and political purpose. It testifies to the continued relevance of the legacy of classical theory to that end. It is essential reading for graduate students working in sociological or cultural theory or political sociology, and for anyone teaching Durkheim to undergraduate or graduate students.' Canadian Journal of Sociology
