Durkheim argues that this phenomenon not only has economic consequences, but also a profound moral content. Through a methodical approach based on data, the author examines the transition from mechanical to organic solidarity, revealing the foundations of social cohesion in contemporary societies. An essential text for understanding the foundations of sociological theory and the challenges of collective morality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eÉmile Durkheim sets out to correct purely economic views on the division of labour, from both classical economists and socialist thinkers, whom he considers insufficient. For him, the division of labour is, above all, a social fact with a moral dimension that has been ignored. The book analyses how the specialisation of functions generates a new type of solidarity, organic solidarity, which replaces the mechanical solidarity of traditional societies. Through this analysis, Durkheim seeks to understand how a modern society is held together and, at the same time, to offer a guide for moral reconstruction in a changing world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe division of labour as a social fact and not just an economic one.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe transition from mechanical solidarity to organic solidarity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe moral function of the division of labour in social cohesion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe analysis of social pathologies derived from anomie.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe critique of classical and socialist economic theories on labour.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at students and professionals in sociology, political science, philosophy, and economics.
