Émile Durkheim and the Kingdom of Ends: Considerations on the Sociology of Morals

ABSTRACT

This article intends to demonstrate how Durkheim’s sociology of morals is a continuation and a (sociological) overcoming of certain central points of Kant’s theory, such as the ideas of autonomy and the kingdom of ends; and therefore proposes a key to understand the normative dimension of Durkheimian sociology, which has as much weight as the analytic stage that precedes it.

KEYWORDS:
Durkheim; Kant; moral; individualism
