Defending the Durkheimian Tradition: Religion, Emotion and Morality
This book provides an exciting, accessible and wide-ranging guide to the development of classical and contemporary Durkheimian thought. Jonathan Fish offers a re-reading of the writings of Emile Durkheim and Talcott Parsons on religion. He aims to move beyond rationalistic readings which have neglected the key significance of collective human emotion in Durkheim's accounts of the link between society, religion and morality. He goes on to look at …
Homo duplex revisited: A defence of Émile Durkheim's theory of the moral self
Over the years arguments focusing on process have gained ascendancy over traditional dualist arguments in various areas of sociological inquiry, including that of the moral self. This paper challenges current convention by offering a defence of Émile Durkheim's now largely discredited dualism-based homo duplex theory of the moral self by engaging it in a dialogue with one key exponent of the rival process view on this theme, namely the American p…

Talcott Parsons and the Sociology of Emotion
This article offers a critical assessment of the importance accorded to religion and human emotion in Parsons's various readings of Durkheim. While Parsons's reading of The Elementary Forms of Religious Life provides a detailed examination of these two themes as foundations for social order, the same cannot be said of his reading of The Division of Labor in Society, or Durkheim's posthumously published lectures titled Moral Education. Parsons's f…
The Neglected Element of Human Emotion in Talcott Parsons's The Structure of Social Action
Little has been written about the importance of human emotion in Talcott Parsons's early writings on normative values. This article attempts to remedy this by re-reading The Structure of Social Action (1968 [1937]) alongside other texts, so as to uncover the key role of emotion in both Parsons's exegesis of Durkheim and his related voluntaristic theory of action. This discussion will provide the basis for constructing a new set of thematic defenc…
Stjepan Meštrović and Michel Maffesoli's 'Implosive' Defence of the Durkheimian Tradition: Theoretical Convergences around Baudrillard's Thesis on the 'End' of the Social
This paper critically examines Meštrović and Maffesoli's attempt to understand postmodernity through émile Durkheim's nonrational link between society, religion and morality. Meštrović (1991, 1997) and Maffesoli's (1996) work draws upon this emotional element when attempting to refute Baudrillard's (1983) cognitively focused, if implicit, critique of the Durkheimian tradition. Despite their best intentions, Meštrović and Maffesoli still fail to e…
Religion and the Changing Intensity of Emotional Solidarities in Durkheim's The Division of Labour in Society (1893)
This article re-reads the six evolutionary stages contained in The Division of Labour so as to uncover the key importance of human emotion in Durkheim's early views on the nature and social role of religion. This important, yet hitherto neglected, thematic link in Durkheim's early writings will be used to defend Nisbet's (1972[1966]) belief that it is the religious and emotional foundations of order that provide the true germinative link between …
