The Rules of Sociological Method: And Selected Texts on Sociology and its Method

Revised for the first time in over thirty years, this edition of Emile Durkheimâ€™s masterful work on the nature and scope of sociology is updated with a new introduction and improved translation by leading scholar Steven Lukes that puts Durkheimâ€™s work into context for the twenty-first century reader.

The Rules of Sociological Method represents Emile Durkheimâ€™s manifesto for sociology. He argues forcefully for the objective, scientific, and methodological underpinnings of sociology as a discipline and establishes guiding principles for future research.

The substantial new introduction by leading Durkheim scholar Steven Lukes explains and sets into context Durkheimâ€™s arguments. Lukes examines the still-controversial debates about The Rules of Sociological Methodâ€™s six chapters and explains their relevance to present-day sociology. The edition also includes Durkheimâ€™s subsequent thoughts on method in the form of articles, debates with scholars from other disciplines, and letters. The original translation has been revised and reworked in order to make Durkheimâ€™s arguments clearer and easier to read.

This is an essential resource for students and scholars hoping to deepen their understanding of one of the pioneering voices in modern sociology and twentieth-century social thought.
