This review presents and defends Marcel Fournier's biographical perspective appliedto Durkheim, following a similar piece of work on Mauss in 1994. Fournier's style emphasizes theman, the various contexts (political, religious, intellectual, academic), the ideas, and at the sametime shows a real taste for archives, for the intensive use of private correspondence and thus shedsnew light on Durkheim's complex works, of which he gives a comprehensive and chronologicalaccount. This English translation of his Durkheim [Fayard 2007] fights with Steven Lukes'sclassic intellectual biography of Durkheim, questioning the inevitably excessive monopoly it hasbeen holding since 1972 and offering a complementary approach.
