About this title

Synopsis

The Elementary Forms of the Religious Life: A Study in Religious Sociology by Emile Durkheim is a classic work of sociology that explores the nature and function of religion in society. Durkheim argues that religion is a social phenomenon that serves to unify and strengthen the bonds between members of a community. He identifies two key elements of religious life: the sacred and the profane. The sacred refers to those things that are set apart and revered by the community, while the profane refers to the everyday, mundane world. Durkheim also examines the role of ritual in religious life, arguing that it serves to reinforce the social bonds between members of a community. He draws on examples from a range of cultures and societies to illustrate his arguments. The Elementary Forms of the Religious Life is a seminal work in the field of sociology and remains an important text for anyone interested in the study of religion and society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
