  • Emile Durkheim was a French 19th century sociologist who focused on what modern capitalism does to our minds - and concluded that it might, quite literally, be driving us to an early grave.

    'Excessive hope' really got me thinking about the current entrepreneur culture, and also how social media tricks young people into believing that if they are not a boss and millionnaire by 25 they have failed life.

    • @brytanny11
      @brytanny11 Před 3 lety +44

      Yes!!! There is this idea that if you don’t have everything by 25 you failed. When in reality, society asks way more time of us than this. My husband and I are still reliant on family for financial means. My husband’s career is only about a third of the way done (medicine). This Places us in this weird situation where we want independence and feel we should already have it. But it’s literally impossible.

      Christopher Smith thats a good question. My intuition says it’s advertising that makes these claims. Like before this video, there’s the ad of “I made $20,000 sitting at home. Join my crew” and all that type of stuff. That’s my guess at least.

    the main idea of Durkheim is "social fact" (structural functional), he sees human action are based on what society demand on us and how capitalism and modernity change the way human interact (from mechanic to organic solidarity)

    @ThePeaceableKingdom Před 9 lety +51

    In the study of history one of the most profound things I've learned is deceptively simple, that culture moves in multiple streams simultaneously. That makes chasing cause and effect quite tricky. One could easily argue that fashion and pop music affected the '60s more than politics, philosophy or war. (I'm not sure that's correct; but it isn't a difficult argument to make...) So tying the immense upheaval of the industrial revolution and the transition from mercantile feudalism to modern capitalism is arguable as a concept, but a lot of other things were happening simultaneously, too. Durkheim mentions naive interpretations of religious ideas becoming less tenable. But changes in family structure may be as linked to changes in transportation technology as they are to changes in job opportunities. In the 18th century very, very few people ended up 50 miles away from where they were born; today very few will end up in the town of their birth or childhood. If one's parents are a 1000 miles away it's easier to ignore them than if they live next door.
    But the stuff about suicide does give one pause. (Or it should!) My favorite line from Marx (I'm not going to look up the exact quote) is along the lines that there is something rotten in the heart of an economic system that increases a nation's wealth without diminishing its misery. It is hard to argue against that! - even if, ultimately, your conclusions are far from the ones Marx arrived at...

      @HOWITZER169 Před 2 lety +5

      Marx and Durkheim differed on many things, but at the heart of their differences lays the role of society in shaping life of the individual, in particular, the division of labour. While Durkheim concluded the collective conscience existing due to one's subscription to his society defined the division of labor, Marx argued it was due to class distinction. Their reactions to capitalism and changing life of man in the transitional society were different as well. Though they were both correct in many ways, it just goes to show two correct conclusions from the same context can be determined; further supporting your point. But what really is correct and incorrect in sociology? :)

      The interesting and so close to reality quote you mentioned from Marx, reminded me of something interesting I came across a while back where it went along the lines that currently in the US, the nation's wealth is not being increased and there is no sense of productivity, only that the speed and acceleration of the civilians' income being put into the pocket of the few elites has increased. Currently, there is something extremely rotten in the flow of where the nation's already rotten wealth is going. Misery squared I suppose...

While the person(s) collecting those rents are not the fellow citizen who bought a rental house but a real estate investment company or real estate investment trust's absentee owners...

    He also touched a little on the gratitude aspect in religious structures and the restorative nature of such.

    this video has a tendency towards over valuing capitalism as a big part of durkheims work. this is not how I read him at all. it is rather modernity (example: the transition between mechanical solidarity to organical solidarity) that creates something he called anomie (comparable to Hobbes state of natural conflict).

    These videos are very well presented and concise, the appropriate duration without doing a disservice to the ideas discussed; great job!
    I have one rather pedantic correction: the audio introduces Durkheim as a philosopher, however, he self-identified primarily as a sociologist. The same is the case with the Max Weber video. It wouldn't bother me if I didn't feel that sociology as a discipline needs to be able to lay claim to such key figures of social thought.
    Apart from that, thanks for all the great material!

    Hey School of Life, thanks a lot for this video, I've been interested in Durkheim's ideas for a while now, so this was good introduction to them!
    By the way, could you guys do a video on Henri Bergson? I appreciate his views on art, yet I am interested to know more of his philosophy in general.

    You the individual, are the most important person in your life. Only you can get you into better physical shape, you alone can sell more at work, you alone can decide to not watch TV and create music to stream. Community is important, but it starts with you the individual.

    I was really put back for a moment on reason 3. I thought it was crazy for me to think that too much freedom could make you unhappy. As a child, you weren't really free. Your parents did much of your choices and took you to places but you were still pretty darn happy, even with all those moments of unfairness. Restrictions can be a good thing.

    I like the part about religion. I used to be very religious as a kid but as I grew older I realized I'm agnostic. But recently I was approached by some people around my age, asking if I wanted to join their church. I don't believe everything they teach me but I like listening to what others believe. I'm open minded and I don't take the time to argue so I just nod or agree with what they say. I don't socialize much so it's nice to go to a place at least once a week where people are nice to me and I can socialize. I do wish I could find a group with my similar beliefs about the spiritual side of life and being happy about just being alive without worrying so much about relgion.

      dude if you r not planning on converting to their religion, stop wasting their time and yours. Go do something real that will up your value, then you will get friends and bitches automatically for real. Church people are nice to you for no reason because they eventually want you to convert, although they are nice in general, but and for that reason.

    Families are much more connected (through one's whole lifetime!) in Mediterranean societies, I assure you. People there are both capitalist, but still hold more collectivist traditional values when it comes to family.
    This has some pros and cons too, of course. Like it's not weird to stay in your parents' house after you've reached 25+ and they'll always be there to aid you financially, but they'll also get to have saying on how you raise your children and constantly berate you as well.
