About “Suicide”

Originally published in 1897, this essay by Émile Durkheim presents a sociological analysis of a phenomenon that had previously been seen as purely psychological and individual. Durkheim sought to explain it through social structures and collective forces rather than personal factors. His work marked a significant shift in understanding human behavior by emphasizing the role of society in shaping individual experiences. The essay is considered a foundational text in the field of sociology.
