“Each new generation is reared by its predecessor; the latter must therefore improve in order to improve its successor. The movement is circular.”
— Émile Durkheim (00:00)

“Reality seems valueless by comparison with the dreams of fevered imaginations; reality is therefore abandoned.”
— Émile Durkheim (00:07)

“Our whole social environment seems to us to be filled with forces which really exist only in our own minds.”
— Émile Durkheim (00:14)

“Science cannot describe individuals, but only types. If human societies cannot be classified, they must remain inaccessible to scientific description.”
— Émile Durkheim (00:21)

“Man is a moral being, only because he lives in society. Let all social life disappear and morality will disappear with it.”
— Émile Durkheim (00:28)

“A mind that questions everything, unless strong enough to bear the weight of its ignorance, risks questioning itself and being engulfed in doubt.”
— Émile Durkheim (00:35)

“When man discovered the mirror, he began to lose his soul.”
— Émile Durkheim (00:42)

“If religion has given birth to all that is essential in society, it is because the idea of society is the soul of religion.”
— Émile Durkheim (00:49)

“Man cannot become attached to higher aims and submit to a rule if he sees nothing above him to which he belongs. To free him from all social pressure is to abandon him to himself and demoralize him.”
— Émile Durkheim (00:56)

“Man is only a moral being because he lives in society, since morality consists in solidarity with the group, and varies according to that solidarity. Cause all social life to vanish, and moral life would vanish at the same time, having no object to cling to.”
— Émile Durkheim (01:03)

“Religious representations are collective representations which express collective realities.”
— Émile Durkheim (01:10)

“It is not human nature which can assign the variable limits necessary to our needs. They are thus unlimited so far as they depend on the individual alone. Irrespective of any external regulatory force, our capacity for feeling is in itself an insatiable and bottomless abyss.”
— Émile Durkheim (01:17)

“To pursue a goal which is by definition unattainable is to condemn oneself to a state of perpetual unhappiness.”
— Émile Durkheim (01:24)

“Socialism is not a science, a sociology in miniature: it is a cry of pain.”
— Émile Durkheim (01:31)

“When mores are sufficient, laws are unnecessary; when mores are insufficient, laws are unenforceable.”
— Émile Durkheim (01:38)

“A person is not merely a single subject distinguished from all the others. It is especially a being to which is attributed a relative autonomy in relation to the environment with which it is most immediately in contact.”
— Émile Durkheim (01:45)

“Man seeks to learn, and man kills himself because of the loss of cohesion in his religious society; he does not kill himself because of his learning. It is certainly not the learning he acquires that disorganizes religion; but the desire for knowledge wakens because religion becomes disorganized.”
— Émile Durkheim (01:52)

“Sadness does not inhere in things; it does not reach us from the world and through mere contemplation of the world. It is a product of our own thought. We create it out of whole cloth.”
— Émile Durkheim (01:59)

“At first sight, one does not see what relations there can be between religion and logic.”
— Émile Durkheim (02:06)

“One does not advance when one walks toward no goal, or – which is the same thing – when his goal is infinity.”
— Émile Durkheim (02:13)

'Excessive hope' really got me thinking about the current entrepreneur culture, and also how social media tricks young people into believing that if they are not a boss and millionnaire by 25 they have failed life.

brytanny11

4y↑39

Yes!!! There is this idea that if you don’t have everything by 25 you failed. When in reality, society asks way more time of us than this. My husband and I are still reliant on family for financial means. My husband’s career is only about a third of the way done (medicine). This Places us in this weird situation where we want independence and feel we should already have it. But it’s literally impossible.

Christopher Smith thats a good question. My intuition says it’s advertising that makes these claims. Like before this video, there’s the ad of “I made $20,000 sitting at home. Join my crew” and all that type of stuff. That’s my guess at least.

Hey School of Life, thanks a lot for this video, I've been interested in Durkheim's ideas for a while now, so this was good introduction to them!

im not so sure he was ahead of his time, I think we just were born into times he already could see.....so I think we have it wrong with that saying, I think he was saying this at the right time......and nothing has been done, it's gotten worse, the prophecies of the philosophers about the coming age of technological bondage is coming, we see it man, quantum supremacy, all in the hands of the elite, all these shifts, the another industrial revolution is knocking on our door right now, and we are in it full swing, "working from home" is the start of the wave, companies seeing that it's feasible, tech is rapidly advancing.......it's happening now. uncontrollably.

I was really put back for a moment on reason 3. I thought it was crazy for me to think that too much freedom could make you unhappy. As a child, you weren't really free. Your parents did much of your choices and took you to places but you were still pretty darn happy, even with all those moments of unfairness. Restrictions can be a good thing.

In the study of history one of the most profound things I've learned is deceptively simple, that culture moves in multiple streams simultaneously. That makes chasing cause and effect quite tricky. One could easily argue that fashion and pop music affected the '60s more than politics, philosophy or war. (I'm not sure that's correct; but it isn't a difficult argument to make...) So tying the immense upheaval of the industrial revolution and the transition from mercantile feudalism to modern capitalism is arguable as a concept, but a lot of other things were happening simultaneously, too. Durkheim mentions naive interpretations of religious ideas becoming less tenable. But changes in family structure may be as linked to changes in transportation technology as they are to changes in job opportunities. In the 18th century very, very few people ended up 50 miles away from where they were born; today very few will end up in the town of their birth or childhood. If one's parents are a 1000 miles away it's easier to ignore them than if they live next door.

But the stuff about suicide does give one pause. (Or it should!) My favorite line from Marx (I'm not going to look up the exact quote) is along the lines that there is something rotten in the heart of an economic system that increases a nation's wealth without diminishing its misery. It is hard to argue against that! - even if, ultimately, your conclusions are far from the ones Marx arrived at...

Marx and Durkheim differed on many things, but at the heart of their differences lays the role of society in shaping life of the individual, in particular, the division of labour. While Durkheim concluded the collective conscience existing due to one's subscription to his society defined the division of labor, Marx argued it was due to class distinction. Their reactions to capitalism and changing life of man in the transitional society were different as well. Though they were both correct in many ways, it just goes to show two correct conclusions from the same context can be determined; further supporting your point. But what really is correct and incorrect in sociology? :)

ThePeaceableKingdom

@M Mendi I haven't seen the stats that would support that, but anecdotally it does seem true, especially in terms of the housing market and rents, at least where I live. I see many of my young friends either giving well over half their income for rent or pushed out of the city altogether. While the person(s) collecting those rents are not the fellow citizen who bought a rental house but a real estate investment company or real estate investment trust's absentee owners...

Only learnt of this guy's existence today and I'm a fairly well-educated 51 year old!

A quote of Mansur Hoda comes to mind:

“ Development does not only mean the increased production of goods but also the development of people, the stimulation of their innate abilities, giving them a feeling of self-determination, self-respect, self-reliance and enthusiasm. Unless people are involved in the process of development and are given a chance to do something worthwhile, to grasp new ideas, acquire new skills and develop a sense of their own worth, no society can move out of misery and poverty”.

Missus Bee Alain de Botton's books are marvelous, and unique. He probably qualifies as a philosopher himself. As entertaining as Monty Python sometimes. An incredible social critic and crank, but very kind. Try reading "The News". And of course, "How Proust Can Change Your Life."

There is a very beautiful poem in hindi ... It tells how even a bird in a cage knows that outside there are dangers awaiting it. Yet whenever given chance, the gate of cage opens it always flies away.... Freedom always triumphs

Roddy Condon

These videos are very well presented and concise, the appropriate duration without doing a disservice to the ideas discussed; great job!

I have one rather pedantic correction: the audio introduces Durkheim as a philosopher, however, he self-identified primarily as a sociologist. The same is the case with the Max Weber video. It wouldn't bother me if I didn't feel that sociology as a discipline needs to be able to lay claim to such key figures of social thought.

Apart from that, thanks for all the great material!

Chrisjohn

Many thanks and congratulations to the team that make these videos. Have you considered dealing with Luhmann in the future? His so called 'fourth insult' of his sociology is one of the more exciting things to happen in and beyond the discipline.

All the best.

Björn Rieß

Good comment! Thanks. Yes, Luhmann please(and Bourdieu, too). I love Luhmann. Such a genius...

This is a wonderful exposition of capitalism by Émile Durkheim, in a very short video. I would also like to add that his findings are more valid today as capitalism is facing greater crisis due to its internal contradictions. We often tend to forget that mother nature has made the human race as interdependent social beings. If any system tries to take away the closely-knit social bonding and make humans behave as individuals, then happiness is bound to be a casualty. No amount of wealth can heal the deep insecurity and unhappiness within us.

Can you also make a video on Durkheim and his theory on how we seek to band together in groups for comfort of our basic (evolutionary) human psychological needs of being in the protection of a group, and how this explains how we also seek to make outgroups to signal virtue to our own group?

The way I read his work, it was more about the personal expectations being different from the realities and the gap between them determined a level of internal dread. Simultaneously, I read a paper pointing out that without exception, everyone that jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge was facing the city, not outward toward the ocean.
He also touched a little on the gratitude aspect in religious structures and the restorative nature of such.

the main idea of Durkheim is "social fact" (structural functional), he sees human action are based on what society demand on us and how capitalism and modernity change the way human interact (from mechanic to organic solidarity)

this is really interesting as a student of sociology - often Durkheim is given a short 30 min lecture and then its on with what many of my lecturers see as the "big" sociologist like marx, weber etc.

i learned a good deal of new things about Durkheim thanks to this :)

I think that Carl Sagan's Cosmos shows many ideas that get you to feel connected with all of humanity, nature and the cosmos itself :) And it's all scientifically accurate haha Plus it sets the idea of human progress on a planetary scale giving us a long way to run into the future with a good enough purpose

well, I love love love love your videos, but I feel that Durkheim's argument is more complicated than this, it is more of a counter-intuitive argument when it comes to RELIGION and suicide. It’s not knowledge that produces suicide; rather, it is the loss of cohesion in a religious society that drives people to seek to learn and the same thing that leads some to commit suicide... He thinks Jews or Catholics are committing less suicide because they are practicing solidarity but eventually the disorganizations in religion lead to restlessness and suicide. So he suggests learning and roots for knowledge as the only way that one can survive by reconstructing conscience when the social instinct becomes blunted.

Indeed, these videos show a very one sided perspective of the actual theoretical discourse set by any sociologist/philosopher in the sense of ''self help'' method one can incorporate to understand the functions of society by claiming to know that root of all the actual problems is merely subsided in the asimetric position of the Dominated and the dominative.

Emile Durkheim was a functionalist, who studied the integrity of modern society and it's historical subject in a sense, that he understood its main function to be an institutional and collective integration of the before mentioned subject into society, by means of education and family and normative values, which one must learn about and ''interiorize'' to be a productive member of the holistic society.
I really don't see, how the ONLY mainly relevant things of his theory could be the studies about suicide and the way somebody maintained their integrity in the late 19th and early 20th century ''heavy'' modernity

Still, i guess, most of these videos are as informative as they can get for an average person, who doesn't study sociology or philosophy

I like the part about religion. I used to be very religious as a kid but as I grew older I realized I'm agnostic. But recently I was approached by some people around my age, asking if I wanted to join their church. I don't believe everything they teach me but I like listening to what others believe. I'm open minded and I don't take the time to argue so I just nod or agree with what they say. I don't socialize much so it's nice to go to a place at least once a week where people are nice to me and I can socialize. I do wish I could find a group with my similar beliefs about the spiritual side of life and being happy about just being alive without worrying so much about relgion.

Very interesting topic, the role institutions play in creating cohesion among individuals is often overlooked nowadays. Not that I advocate rigid class systems or dogmatic religion but I think in the West we sorely lack institutions to bring us together and give us a sense of belonging. It's the old double-edged sword of an individualistic society, so many freedoms and so much isolation. Most people still meet their friends and spouses through the institutions of school, work, church, military, even prison.

Great video, because it challenges assumptions our society makes. I still think Nietzsche is more persuasive on the matter though- "no price is too high to pay for the privalege of owning yourself".

Hi, I really enjoy your videos, but English being my second language it is quite difficult for me to understand certain words, for people like me, I would like you to consider maybe putting the script in the description box or any solution you may consider.
Thanks for your videos.

Ricardo E Ricado, youtube has a CC box, which stands for closed caption. If you click on that the words will appear as text underneath the pictures. I admit sometimes it doesn't work very wel, and mixes up the words, so they don't make sense. But sometimes it works fine. It has trouble with people's accents. For example, it can't understand when de Botton says Durkheim and miss-translates it, or maybe because that name is not a part of its dictionary. .

Durkheim is my favorite of any sociologists I've studied.

mayank chauhan

Germens, I think , are really one of the most intelligent people on earth . I have seen many videos and Germen Philosopher , Sociologist always nailed it . They always come up with some really great ideas . Though I do not agree with all of them yet they make really great point which is hard to evade . I personally want to visit Germany one day , except i think people must be very serious type there .

Families are much more connected (through one's whole lifetime!) in Mediterranean societies, I assure you. People there are both capitalist, but still hold more collectivist traditional values when it comes to family.

This has some pros and cons too, of course. Like it's not weird to stay in your parents' house after you've reached 25+ and they'll always be there to aid you financially, but they'll also get to have saying on how you raise your children and constantly berate you as well.

Yes, the makers of this excellent video do state that Durkheim's most important work was "Suicide," but then, IMHO, they went on to summarize what perhaps was Durkheim's overarching take on the back and forth between a demanding modern capitalistic society and individuals in that society wrestling with, among other artificial constructs, anomie. I say "perhaps" because from what I can tell from reading "Suicide" in college, along with a few other blurbs and short articles back then, and then rereading the entire book again just three years ago, I would say that the makers of this short film did not draw very much from Durkheim's most famous work, but from other works, no doubt also written by this French educator.

If anyone out there wants to hear a singularly-focused treatise on only Durkheim's "Suicide," I've filmed ten short YouTube vids on his theory, and how his theory relates to another modern ill, an ill that has to do with labeling theory, and shows basically that yes little girls being called or labeled "bossy" can lead to harm, but that little girls aren't the only ones who can be labeled into going down the "wrong" roads. This series is called "The Woman With One Point Five Hands," and my ten Durkheimian vids begin with number ten and run through number twenty. It probably won't hurt to watch the first nine, and the twenty first, in that series either before or after you view my Durkheimian videos, but then it won't seem like it's about Durkheim either.

TAR ICO Yes, the video is not horrible, but it is a very poor and partial vision of the work of Durkheim. I was surprised that the word anomie did not even appear once.

WASP without the P

The amount if Basis in this video is unreal, Durkheim saw capitalism as a positive force in society as helped to enforce a diversity of labour, specialization in work and meritocratic means of defining inequality. His work regarding suicide pure argued that as human beings lose a sense of belonging to a group of wider society they are more likely to commit suicide, he didn't argue what was the cause of this lose of sense of belonging beyond.a lack of connection to other people.

"Few choices are involved..a person be a..without having made any self-conscious desicion for themselves"-- `_` VERY interesting line..and also a neat way of sayimg how even if you luve in an individualist society that doesn't mean you'll be the best desicion-maker.

I feel like a better way to phrase the criticism "we have too much freedom" would be to say "we don't have enough guidance". Most of us want all the freedom we can get, to ultimate make our own choices, but we also want assistance in making those choices.

lyelum

Ok Alain and school of life, how do you think this relates to Albert Camus and his theory of the only question being whether or not to commit suicide? Would love to hear your thoughts and thanks for this great video!

lyelum

***** ah yes, indeed. Now if you could tie the two theories back to the mathematical concepts of positive feedback loops and hysteresis, you have a proof ;)

Paul Harris

I agree with most of Durkeim's views,but more needs be made of the fact that happiness is mainly relative/ comparative.
Comparing ourselves and what we have with that of others is the stuff of self induced frustration. Enjoying others' qualities
while consciously steering clear of comparisons - takes daily effort for a while,but is an attainable and worthwhile attitude,
Capitalism notwithstanding.

Vincent Adultman

Durkheim's concept of the collective consciousness, and mechanical vs. organic solidarity, is emblematic of all sociological thought. It identifies the right diagnosis, but he misses the mark on prescription. In this shortcoming, he is a brother-in-arms in Karl Marx.
