Document Summary
Context: in the 19th century, education was undergoing a process of universalization. Durkheim"s three elements of morality: sociology is a moral science. Autonomy: in traditional societies, order is taken for granted, in modern logic, morality must acquire a rational basis, it is something we have to consider. We need to work through morality in a rational way. The state: the issue is centered around who can control education, durkheim believed that the state was the institution best suited to develop the younger generation into the modern world. The state is in the middle ground between the private life and the public sphere: the state has a wider outlook on society and can better fulfill the needs of the division of labor. The evolution of pedagogy in france: durkheim"s premise is that as an educator, you cannot determine what the content of education will be outside of its context.
