| Summary |
"A szociológia módszere" by Émile Durkheim is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The work delves into the methodology of sociology, particularly focusing on the concept of social facts and their objective study. Durkheim asserts that social phenomena influence individuals, exerting a form of external constraint that shapes human actions and behaviors. This foundational perspective sets the stage for a broader exploration of social structures and institutions within the field of sociology. The opening of the text establishes Durkheim's intent to define and analyze social facts, which he describes as ways of acting, thinking, and feeling that exist outside of the individual and exert coercive force within society. He discusses the importance of viewing these social phenomena as 'things' that can be studied scientifically, in the same manner as natural phenomena. By emphasizing this objective approach in sociological research, Durkheim seeks to differentiate sociology from psychology and biology, arguing that it occupies a unique place focused on collective social structures rather than individual behaviors alone. The introduction sets a framework for understanding how societal norms and practices shape human experience and opens up discussions regarding the systematic investigation of social dynamics.
