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.

“这种构成宗教经验的…绝对永恒的客观原因，其实就是社会。” 上海俗话港额老精准，啥叫“请侬吃生活”，啥叫“做做规矩”，都是社会嘛。现实最大，社会最真。

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。。。

可能很多人（包括我在内）对于宗教是一种social construct的概念都很习以为常，但why和how的问题，看涂尔干抽丝剥茧还是蛮有意思的
