A szociológia módszere

by Émile Durkheim

Translated by Antal Balla

"A szociológia módszere" by Émile Durkheim is a foundational text published in 1895. Durkheim establishes sociology as a legitimate science by defining its unique subject: social facts. He argues that sociology must study these external, coercive forces—like law, language, and morality—with the same rigorous scientific method used in natural sciences. This manifesto distinguishes sociology from philosophy and psychology, insisting that social phenomena be examined objectively, without prejudice, as things existing independently of individual consciousness.
