"endowed with a power of coercion" is a mistranslation of the text for its actually "external constraint" whereby constraint is 'moral obligation' to a form of conduct. Moral obligation is constraning because if broken then it becomes deviant and subject to punishment. A good book to see read is "The classical roots of ethnomethodology: durkheim, weber and garfinkel" by Richard Hilbert.

very critical but in places fair albeit at times macfarlane accuses durkheim of failings that have no relation to durkheim's central concerns. he says it best at the end, if you like him then keep reading him. will do.

I thought Durkheim defined what a social fact was quite clearly: "Ways of acting, thinking and feeling external to the individual and endowed with a power of coercion." But then again, picking your nose could be considered a social fact I guess, it might be considered a deviant behaviour I suppose...Boggling science..sociology.

fantastic, i loved the rant about sainsburys!! and the part... having a cup of tea (which im just about to do!) is a social fact. |
