Описание
Итог:The moral basis of advanced societies is the group basis of advanced societies. That was Durkheim's essential insight and enduring contribution to the sociology of the moral order. He asked, in effect: (1) What is the basis of association or group formation which engenders moral rules? (2) What units of societal organization comprise "moral communities" on this basis? and (3) What ethos or ethical system formulates and regulates these relationships? The classic replies given in On the Division of Labor in Society and subsequent works--the division of labor, occupational associations, and professional ethics--are analyzed for conceptual adequacy and tested for empirical relevance. Although the diagnosis and prescription Durkheim offered are found to be deficient in crucial respects, nevertheless they provide strategic points of departure in the quest for values and the quest for community.
