Boundaries problems and total knowledge: sociology and psychology amongst the durkheimians
Author/s : Louis Pinto
Up to what point does disciplinary boundaries return the various social sciences to a partial, local vision? Can sociology escape this limitation or must it compose with other disciplines and in particular with psychology? How to understand the relations collective-individual? Among the answers brought: to consider the relationship between disciplines according to the model of a federation, to grant to a discipline an at least provisional statute of pilot-knowledge, to admit a certain epistemological eclecticism or, like Marcel Mauss, to conceive of anthropology as total science of the “total man”. The standpoint of the durkheimiens varied according to the held theoretical capital, to the institutional position and to the theoretical conjoncture at one given time. After having presented the space of the options, one will return to the question of knowing how to understand the anti-psychologism of Durkheim by considering the supposed going beyond of the durkheimian position proposed by Maurice Halbwachs about the suicide.
