Pill Pod 177 - Society as Magic, Society as Religion: Emile Durkheim

Published 1 year, 7 months ago
Description
Durkheim, one of the founders of sociology, slowly came to the discovery by the end of his career that consciousness, langauge and thought itself were of religious origin. We tried to retrace a few of his steps from The Elementary Forms of Religious Life and try to come up with some examples to illustrate his radical hypothesis.
