Habermas IV 9
Sociology/Durkheim/Habermas: Émile Durkheim (1858-1917) is one of the founding fathers of modern sociology together with Max Weber and George Herbert Mead. Like Mead, he proceeds from Weber's concept of rationalization. In the end, Durkheim creates a theory of social solidarity that also includes social and system integration which are related to each other.
