Durkheimian Quest : In Search of Solidarity and the Sacred

This book draws on recent work to offer a new, up-to-date interpretation of the ideas of Durkheim himself and also explores their development by major Durkheimian writers such as Mauss, Bataille, and Maffesoli. Its overall theme is the problematic search, in the modern/postmodern world, for forms of solidarity and the sacred. The introduction explains the centrality of this problematic in the Durkheimian tradition, and the conclusion provides a reassessment of Durkheimian social science.Watts Miller, Willie is the author of 'Durkheimian Quest : In Search of Solidarity and the Sacred', published 2012 under ISBN 9780333961025 and ISBN 0333961021.
