Subjects
*SOCIOLOGICAL jurisprudence, *LAWYERS, *SOCIOLOGY
Abstract

The present paper concentrates on Paul Huvelin's work as a response to, and adaptation of, Emile Durkheim's sociology. The author used a study of Huvelin to illustrate certain problems which Durkheim's ideas posed for sympathetic jurists. The paper considers how one particular legal scholar tried to overcome these, using elements of Durkheim's thinking to develop general sociological insights about law and its history.

2. Justice, Rights, Torture, and Social Complexity: Durkheim in a New Century.

Author

Abstract

The status of Emile Durkheim's work in contemporary law and society scholarship is deeply ambiguous. His claims about solidarity and moral individualism in conditions of increasing social complexity are very familiar as part of the canon of theoretical ideas that underpin social research. On the other hand, these claims are widely regarded as naïve, utopian, complacent, or simply remote from much current Western legal and social experience. This paper, inspired in part by recent invocations of Durkheim's thought in discussion of torture, considers the value of his conceptions of justice and moral individualism for theoretical studies of law in contemporary Western societies - societies seemingly marked by a diversity, fragmentation and complexity far greater than any Durkheim himself could recognise. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
