Emile Durkheim was born at Epinal in the eastern French province of Lorraine on April 15, 1858.
To Boutroux he owed an approach to the philosophy of science that stressed the basic discontinuities between different levels of phenomena and emphasized the novel aspects that emerged as one moved from one level of analysis to another.

Boutroux was a representative of French spiritualism, a current opposed to the nineteenth-century trend of materialism.; he desired to preserve metaphysics and religion without denying the achievements of the natural sciences.
He was especially fascinated by the thought of G. Leibniz, but at the same time he accused Kant of making an excessive separation between the determinism of the laws of nature and man’s freedom.
Boutroux pointed to the hierarchy of beings and values that is joined with the existence of the inorganic, organic, and human world.

 Gifford Lecture Series - Authors
From 1877 to 1885 Boutroux lectured in philosophy at École Normale Supérieure, and in 1888 he was made professor of history of modern philosophy at the Sorbonne in Paris.
Among his other honours, Boutroux was elected a member of the Academy of the Moral and Political Sciences in 1898 and in 1902 he became Director of the Thiers Foundation.
In Boutroux this is reflected most prominently in his De la Contingence, which suggests that physical determinism is only valid on the macro-physical scale whereas on the micro-physical scale there exists an indeterminacy that is too small to be detected by instrumentation.

David Emile Durkheim was born on April 15, 1858 in Epinal, capital town of the department of Vosges, in Lorraine.
Emile, whose grandfather and great-grandfather had also been rabbis, thus appeared destined for the rabbinate, and a part of his early education was spent in a rabbinical school.
After seeking letters from Boutroux, Buisson, and Victor Brochard, the Council of the Faculty of Letters at the Sorbonne appointed Durkheim chargéd'un course by a large majority.

 RECENT PHILOSOPHY: Other Contemporary Philosophers
However, this was the case with Emile Boutroux's (picture) thesis published in 1874, De la Contingence des Lois de la Nature (On the Contingency of the Laws of Nature).
He demonstrated that the concept of natural law in all branches of science (from mathematics to biology) is a result rather than a principle, for it does not prove the universal reign of necessity.
According to Boutroux, generally the relatively invariable relationship between causes and effects comes about because of an inadequate grasp of such true and profound realities as life and liberty.

 Contingency and the "time of the dream": Kuki Shuzo and French prewar Philosophy
Boutroux thought that science has the right to establish links between the phenomena that it observes; however, this does not give us the right to think that these phenomena must be subordinated to an order that is based only on abstractions.
Boutroux surmounts an idealistic and schematic conception that had been imposed on science and philosophy in France, especially by Antoine Auguste Cournot.
Boutroux provides a useful contrast when he shows that a certain interest in contingency is incompatible with certain Aristotelian "existentialist" tendencies: "Everywhere Aristotle is looking for the idea in the fact, the necessary and the perfect in the contingent and the imperfect; everywhere he is working on the substitution of floating elements that !

 MODERN FRENCH PHILOSOPHY - PREFACE
Mention must also be made of the encouragement given by the late M. Emile Boutroux and by the eminent editor of the well-known Revue de Métaphysique et de Morale, M. Xavier Léon, a leading spirit in the Société de Philosophie, whose meetings the writer was privileged to attend by invitation.
This is a field which has been comparatively neglected by English students, so far as the nineteenth century is concerned, and this is especially true of our period, which is roughly that from Comte to Boutroux (who passed away last month) and Bergson (who has this year resigned his professorship).
It is the earnest desire of the writer to draw both philosophical students and lovers of France and its literature to a closer study and appreciation of modern French philosophy.

 German Idealist Foundations of Durkheim's Sociology and Teleology of Knowledge   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
This article explores Durkheim’s sociology of knowledge with a focus on his teleological theory that human thought undergoes a process of “universalization” which reaches toward an apprehension of an objective cosmopolitan “truth,” and compares Durkheim’s epistemological concepts to those of Immanuel Kant and G. Hegel.
To appropriate Emile Durkheim’s ideas to positivist and synchronic analyses of social integration, sociologists tend to minimize or ignore the idealistic and metaphysical underpinnings of his work (Knapp, 1985: 1-2).
Kant’s influence on Durkheim is traced to the French neo-Kantians, Emile Boutroux and Octave Hamelin, but principally to Charles Renouvier, who rejected Kant’s a priori transcendental deduction of the categories.

 Non-German Kantianism (from Kantianism) --  Britannica Concise Encyclopedia - The online encyclopedia you can trust!
Its principal initiators were as follows: France was the first to open to its influence, beginning with the eclectic thinker Victor Cousin, who had studied German authors and made several trips to Germany.
The relativistic personalist Charles Renouvier then defended a rather personal critical philosophy, which exerted an enduring influence through its impact upon the extreme Idealist Octave Hamelin of the Sorbonne; upon the metaphysician and cofounder of French neospiritualism Jules Lachelier; and upon his pupil, the philosopher of science Émile Boutroux.
The English-speaking countries, on the other hand, have not seemed disposed to assimilate the critical philosophy as they did Hegelian Idealism.
