The nodes of the thought of Durkheim's sociology as a moral science

Résumé du document

Durkheim placed at the center of his work, the problem of morality. He believed that it was not possible to lead a social life without morals. Morality drew its binding force, i.e. its constituent element, from society. It is true, therefore, that there is no social life without morals. For these reasons, in the works of Durkheim, the question of moral is always present.

Second, if morality is a type of conduct sanctioned, then it is not the act itself to be moral, but it is the rule that places the action as a duty, which obliges us to it. [...]
