Epistemology and Practice: Durkheim's The Elementary Forms of Religious Life Book

In this original and controversial book Professor Rawls argues that Durkheim's The Elementary Forms of Religion is the crowning achievement of his sociological endeavour and has been consistently misunderstood. Rather than a work on primitive religion or the sociology of knowledge, Rawls asserts that it is an attempt by Durkheim to establish a unique epistemological basis for the study of sociology and moral relations.
