Emile Durkheim


Hi everybody, today i am going to talk about the person who i think is the best in sociology, Emilio Durkheim. He was a great social scientist who gives to the sociology a method of investigacion owner to it, and made a hug stuff of sociological investigation whiches meaning a great progress to the sociology, for all this reasons (and others) he is considerated one of the father of the modern sociology.

Durkheim was born in 1858, in Lorena, Francia. Since he was young he felt atracted to the social sciences, reason for which he study philosophy and later sociology in germany. His work contemplates works like "the division of the social work" and "the suicide". They are, in my opinion a master pieces of the sociologycal work, and they represent the example and the motivation for the future sociology. But his best work is "the rules of the sociological method" where he defined what are the social facts and how they can explain the social reality throught a own methodology.

I think that Durkheim is the best because he was interested in gives to the sociology a own methodology and make it different of the other social sciences. And for all this reasons he is my favourite.
