The status of the notion of objectivity, a central question in current sociology of knowledge debates, is also a fundamental presupposition in several interpretations of Durkheim’s
epistemology. This analysis focuses on Les formes élémentaires de la vie religieuse, where
Durkheim is obliged to defend the objectivity of representation against the relativist or
constructivist implications of his own sociology of knowledge and religion. Despite the
aporia in it, the type of ontology required by this text continually presents sound arguments
to support the postulate that a social reality exists that is independent of our representations.
Though this is not sufficient to resolve all difficulties, it should dissuade us from claiming
he “fathered” different or opposed theses simply because he was not fully able to
demonstrate a particular one. |
