Durkheim’s Ghost: The Century after His Death: France, Germany, Turkey

The essay is a kind of social science fiction meant to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Emile Durkheim’s death in 1917. Durkheim’s ghost, therefore, is used to imagine how his thinking would have dealt with the actual premodern and modern histories of France, Germany, and Turkey
