シスモンディとデュルケム

Abstract

This paper addresses two francophones who had penetrating insights into the unshakable bonds that exist in market economy societies. One was a native of Geneva, the early 19th century anti-classical economist J.-C.-L. Simonde de Sismondi; the other was of Jewish origin and a modern founder of sociology E. Durkheim. In his Socialisme, Durkheim deals with Sismondi's analysis of economic crisis but makes no mention of his proposals for reconstructing the corporation. Similarly Durkheim explored the role of the corporation as an agent in producing social integration without reference of Sismondi's proposals for restructuring. Based on this point, we make an attempt to examine the similarities and differences in their ideas concerning the crisis of solidarite in a market economy society and compare their views of the corporation. This attempt is inherently a preliminary step in apprehending the history of French sociological thought and the development of its understanding of solidarite.
