Les fondements sociaux de l’agir normatif chez Durkheim et Weber : le rôle du sacré

Mauro Piras
p. 139-166

Abstracts

The article tries to put forward the first elements of a theory of the social efficiency of norms, by using Durkheim’s conception of the sacred. Starting from the sacred allows the author to reconstruct the concept of norms in Durkheim and Weber, as well as the explanation of the transformation of normative orders in both authors. Often neglected by scholars, Weber’s analysis in this field makes it possible to integrate Durkheim’s conception, by diversifying the factors of normative stabilization and by linking the sacred to the process of “disenchantment”. However, both Weber’s and Durkheim’s approach suffer from the limits of a neo-Kantian philosophy of consciousness, which should be revised from an inter-subjective point of view.
