In 1893, a young doctoral student was to publish an entirely original work on the nature of labor and production as they were being shaped by the industrial revolution. Emile Durkheim's The Division of Labor in Society studies the nature of social solidarity and explores the ties that bind one person to the next in order to hold society together. This revised and updated second edition fluently conveys original arguments for contemporary readers. Leading Durkheim scholar Steve Lukes's new introduction builds upon Lewis Coser's original -- which places the work in its intellectual and historical context and pinpoints its central ideas and arguments -- by focusing on the text's significance for how we ought to think sociologically about some central problems that face us today."--Back cover;Preface to this edition, by Steven Lukes -- Introduction to the 1984 edition, by Lewis Coser -- Introduction to this edition, by Steven Lukes, Emile Durkheim's life and works: timeline 1858-1917 -- Suggestions for further reading -- Original translator's notes by W.D.
