Paperback. Condizione: Good. Comment les soci t s humaines ont-elles fa onn et t fa onn es par les ph nom nes religieux? C'est cette question que s'attache r pondre Emile Durkheim dans son ouvrage De la d finition des ph nom nes religieux . Situ la crois e des XIXe et XXe si cles, une poque marqu e par des changements sociaux et intellectuels, ce texte s'inscrit dans le cadre de la sociologie naissante. Durkheim, figure embl matique de cette discipline, s'efforce de comprendre les m canismes par lesquels les croyances et les pratiques religieuses influencent les structures sociales. L'auteur explore les diff rentes formes que prennent les religions travers le monde, des cultes tot miques des soci t s aborig nes aux grandes religions monoth istes. Il s'int resse particuli rement la mani re dont ces syst mes de croyance contribuent la coh sion sociale, en fournissant des cadres moraux et des rituels qui renforcent les liens entre les individus. En analysant les fonctions sociales de la religion, Durkheim met en lumi re des concepts tels que le sacr et le profane, et leur r le dans la structuration des soci t s. Ce texte, la fois une tude sociologique et une r flexion philosophique, invite le lecteur reconsid rer la place de la religion dans le monde moderne. En d veloppant une m thode m thodique et rigoureuse, Durkheim nous apprend percevoir les ph nom nes religieux non pas comme de simples superstitions, mais comme des l ments cruciaux la compr hension des transformations sociales. Par cette analyse, nous percevons d sormais mieux les interactions complexes entre croyances, pratiques et structures sociales, et leur impact sur l' volution des soci t s humaines.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Daisy Miller is a fascinating portrait of a young woman from Schenectady, New York, who, traveling in Europe, runs afoul of the socially pretentious American expatriate community in Rome. First published in 1878, the novella brought American novelist Henry James (1843-1916), then living in London, his first international success. Like many of James' early works, it portrays a venturesome American girl in the treacherous waters of European society -- a theme that would culminate in his 1881 masterpiece, The Portrait of a Lady. On the surface, Daisy Miller unfolds a simple story of a young American girl's willful yet innocent flirtation with a young Italian, and its unfortunate consequences. But throughout the narrative, James contrasts American customs and values with European manners and morals in a tale rich in psychological and social insight. A vivid portrayal of Americans abroad and a telling encounter between the values of the Old and New World, Daisy Miller is an ideal introduction to the work of one of America's greatest writers of fiction.…
