Excerpt from Émile Durkheim's Contributions to Sociological Theory As the title of this study suggests, the scope of it is relatively limited. "Sociological theory" has been taken to include the study of the psychological phenomena conditioned by man's social life; the method and scope of sociology; the problem of the conduct relations of the individual as a member of a social group; "social morphology"; the causes of social changes; in short, what is usually denominated "general" sociology. Into the field of Durkheim's specialized work on primitive social life no excursions have been made save for material illustrative of points coming up in the discussions of theory. Furthermore, no attempt has been made to attack the problem of the influences that have helped to shape our author's views. This question has been treated by M. Simon Deploige, with the result of an acrimonious argument between Deploige and Durkheim. This controversy will be considered later. It seems scarcely worth while to do more than to point out, in this connection, similarities between the thought of Durkheim and that of several other writers, and to accept his statement as to the origin of his ideas. Professor Émile Durkheim was born April 15, 1858. From 1879 to 1882 he was a student at the, École Normale Superieure. From 1882 to 1887 he served as professor of philosophy in various lycees. In 1887 he became a member of the Faculte des lettres of the Universite de Bordeaux, first as "charged d'un cours", later, in 1896, as Professor of Social Science. In 1902 he was called to Paris, serving at first as "charged d'un cours", and since 1906, as Professor of Sociology and the Science of Education in the Faculte des lettres in the Universite de Paris.
