Durkheim: Anomie
I just did a exam on Durkheim and also about the Comte Positivism. Although i wrote a lot about my opposition to the problem of Anomie. I do not neglect its existence, but i don’t see this mechanism as deeply “evil”. Anomie can indeed weaken the mechanisms of social reproduction, the collective conscience and fundamentally the solidarity. Although the regulation as a mean to...

Q: If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around--
Marx: Bulldozers. Bourgeoisie bulldozing forests to make a profit.
Durkheim: Maybe the tree felt some anomie and committed suicide.
Foucault: I may have seen it fall.
Weber: There's going to be paperwork about this.
Mead: Am I the tree and everyone else is the forest? How does the forest see me? How do I see the forest?
Cooley: ^^ Ditto.
Mills: You can't look at the tree without looking at its interaction with the forest. I wrote a whole book about it.

DURKHEIM!!! DAMN YOU!
I have exam monday about the functionalism and also the Comte Positivism that somewhat inspired Durkheim. I can’t write rants against liberals :( for a week! Although the idea of Anomie by Durkheim is cool, i am more a guy that sees a problem in Alienation (equivalent for Fatalism in Durkheim) and not in Anomie, but its good to think about society in different perspectives.
