Intriguing and influential - its method has undoubtedly earned it pride of place on undergraduate courses everywhere.



However, the danger of positivist sociology is that it encourages one to make sweeping, inaccurate conclusions: just witness here his remarks on gender.



If you want a brilliant expose on the existential condition, don't expect too much here.

 I think it is an interesting study, but I think Durkheim's approach to the topic is somewhat inappropriate.

 An amazingly brilliant sociological study. Although I wasn't interested in the topic (suicide) when I started the book, Durkheim is captivating in his reasoning, sociological research, and writing. An excellent book that any socially literate person should read.
