Durkheim was concerned primarily with what he perceived to be the breakdown of social norms and the increasing impersonality of social life.

 SOCIOLOGICAL THEORY
In this chapter, Durkheim asks what the division of labor (DOL) in society is. First, he states that since the DOL increases both the reproductive capacity and skill of the workman, it is the necessary condition for the intellectual and material development in societies (12).
Durkheim next states that although Spencer is correct in claiming that contractual relationships are multiplied as society is divided up, he has failed to note that non-contractual relationships are developing at the same time (155).
Durkheim contends, 'Spencer does not see in societies a true reality, existing by itself by virtue of specific and necessary causes, one that consequently bears down upon man, imposing upon him its own nature and to which he is forced to adapt in order to continue living' (281).

 Emile Durkheim - The Work   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Although in his early work Durkheim defined social facts by their exteriority and constraint, focusing his main concern on the operation of the legal system, he was later moved to change his views significantly.
Durkheim now endeavored to study social facts not only as phenomena "out there" in the world of objects, but as facts that the actor and the social scientist come to know.
In his earlier work, Durkheim stated that strong systems of common belief characterize mechanical solidarity in primitive types of society, and that organic solidarity, resulting from the progressive increase in the division of labor and hence increased mutual dependence, needed fewer common beliefs to tie members to this society.

 [No title]
The sociologist, Emile Durkheim, characterized modern (organic) society as individuals held together by their differences--each person, performing a different task from his compatriots exists in a state of Interdependence with them.
The major mechanism, according to Durkheim, separating individuals from each other and from their communities in modern society is the division of labor, which is a prerequisite for industrial capitalism.

 Emil Durkheim - Reviews on RateItAll
Durkheim's insistence that 'social facts must be explained by social facts' was an important corrective to the prevasive ethnic stereotyping and geographic determinism popular around 1900.
Durkheim's work on Suicide, while pioneering in its use of statistics to study social problems, is riddled with methodological mistakes and generally quite dated.
Durkheim's greatest contribution is probably his study of primitive religion (The Elementary Forms of Religious Life) which suggest that nationalism is, in many ways, a secularized form of religion.

Thus, the problem reaches infinitely beyond the material interests of the two classes concerned…[one should] address, not those feelings of anger that the less-favored class harbors against the other, but feelings of pity for society, which is suffering in all classes and in all its organs” (Durkheim [1897] 1986: 143).
In other words, we must not say that an action shocks the common consciousness because it is criminal, but rather that it is criminal because it shocks the common consciousness.
We do not reprove it because it is a crime, but it is a crime because we reprove it” (Durkheim, [1893] 1933: 80-81).

 Durkheim
Societies demand our individual allegiance, and they reinforce our allegiance by projecting their own values into the heavens -- for Durkheim, the qualities, attributes and values of God (or the Gods) are really just those of our own society.
In "primitive societies" religion is strong because all people in the small tribal group share the same values (and religion, remember, is the worship of your group's own values).
Modern societies maximize choice, and as we move in unique ways among its many complex organs and their cultural product, we shape ourselves as unique individuals.

 "State of Emergency: The Demise of Secularism - Forward.com"
God, it turns out, is not dead, but secularism might be — unless it deigns to take another look at itself, at God and at God’s book, and seeks to study and know what it professes not to believe.
This, according to Jacques Berlinerblau, is the news of the 21st century, despite the intellectual achievement of a “prepostmodern golden age of science and reason,” with such “members of the pantheon” as Karl Marx, Friedrich Nietzsche, Emil Durkheim, Max Weber, Bertrand Russell, Sigmund Freud and Jean-Paul Sartre.
But even in the pre-literary, pre-canonized stage, before the Book was assembled, the stories “lived a long, unstable, and constantly fluctuating existence,” delivered orally by skilled raconteurs, complete with the natural variations that are likely to occur in oral retellings.
