If religion generated everything that is essential in society, this is because the idea of society is the soul of religion.'
In The Elementary Forms of Religious Life (1912), Émile Durkheim set himself the task of discovering the enduring source of human social identity. He investigated what he considered to be the simplest form of documented religion - totemism among the Aborigines of Australia. Aboriginal religion was an avenue 'to yield an understanding of the religious nature of man, by showing us an essential and permanent aspect of humanity'. The need and capacity of men and women to relate socially lies at the heart of Durkheim's exploration, in which religion embodies the beliefs that shape our moral universe.
The Elementary Forms has been applauded and debated by sociologists, anthropologists, ethnographers, philosophers, and theologians, and continues to speak to new generations about the origin and nature of religion and society. This new, lightly abridged edition provides an excellent introduction to Durkheim's ideas.

受不了从内到外支持modernization论的死老白男。。上完原住民研究马上跟满教室的白男白女一起学eform感觉好搞笑，天天读land acknowledgement到底来说还是不把原住民当成有同等智力的人。。。

删节本，薄薄一册，适合我等围观群众。翻译晓畅优美。结构思维突出，man/totem-basic principles/sacred beings- society/god 三层推论不明觉厉。神圣社会或可推论上层建筑诸领域，接续超个体社会传统，滥觞结构主义思潮，尤涉马、韦未及之处。
