Émile Durkheim
Suicide: A Study in Sociology
In Suicide: A Study in Sociology, Émile Durkheim asks a radical question: can an act usually understood as deeply personal also reveal patterns in the structure of society? First published in 1897, his study examines the relationship between suicide rates and social integration, regulation, religious life, and periods of upheaval. A foundational work of sociology, it remains valuable both for its methodological ambition and for the historical assumptions modern readers must critically examine.
