Abstract:
Emile Durkheim, the French genius, was a well-known French Sociologist who, along with Karl Marx and Max Weber, founded sociology as a discipline. He dedicated his life to the scientific study of sociology and is considered as the father of French sociology. Durkheim's main contribution was his thinking on how humanity is bound together, and he concluded that there are two types of unity: biological solidarity and mechanical solidarity. His seminal writings include The Division of Labor (1893), Rules of Sociological Method (1895), and Suicide (1900). (1897). Emile Durkheim established himself as a sociologist who contributed significantly to the advancement of sociology. In 1985, he helped develop sociology as a formal academic discipline by founding the first European sociology department at the University of Bordeaux. The aim of this paper is to examine Durkheim's approach to social science, which is notable in the empirical study of culture.
