This is a clear, moving engagement with a landmark of sociology: a philosophical anthropology that treats religious life as a window on collective life, on how communities bind themselves and frame their values. Durkheim's classic study-often described as the turning point in the sociology of religion-offers sharp, accessible analysis of totemism and ritual, and a lucid exploration of how shared symbols generate cohesion. It remains indispensable for academic sociology readers, anthropology students resources, and anyone curious about how religion acts as social glue. The text speaks to turn of the century europe and early twentieth century france, while resonating with contemporary questions about society, solidarity, and belief. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. This edition honours the original's scholarly rigor while inviting casual readers and classic-literature collectors alike to engage with a foundational work in religion and society studies, a durkheim sociology classic that continues to illuminate how communities live, breathe, and bind themselves together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 476\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.06 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 08, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50406692323565,"sku":"9789354593994","price":38.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.webster.direct\/en-au\/products\/the-elementary-forms-of-the-religious-life-paperback-2","provider":"Webster.Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
