We are Durkheim's heirs

  • quote

We are Durkheim’s heirs–and still ahve ahead of us the task he accorded us: to create new ways of belonging, to take some of the pressure off of the individual, to find a correct balance between freedom and solidarity, and to generate ideologies that allow us not to take our own failures so personally and sometimes so tragically.

The School of Life, from the chapter “Émile Durkheim” in Great Thinkers
