Abstract

I argue that the French sociologist Émile Durkheim (1858-1917) decided to constitute sociology, a novel field, as 'scientific' early in his career. He adopted evolutionized biology as then practiced as his principal model of science, but at first wavered between alternative repertoires of concepts, models, metaphors and analogies, in particular Spencerian Lamarckism and French neo-Lamarckism. I show how Durkheim came to fashion a particular deployment of the French neo-Lamarckian repertoire. The paper describes and analyzes this repertoire and explicates how it might have been available to a non-biologist. I analyze Durkheim's very early writings between 1882 and 1892 in this context to substantiate my argument.

年轻的迪尔凯姆运用的新拉马克主义工具:1882-1892。

我认为法国社会学家Émile迪尔凯姆(1858-1917)在其职业生涯的早期就决定将社会学这一新兴领域定义为“科学的”。他采用了当时实践的进化生物学作为他的主要科学模型，但最初在概念、模型、隐喻和类比的备选库之间摇摆不定，特别是斯宾塞的拉马克主义和法国的新拉马克主义。我展示了迪尔凯姆是如何形成一种对法国新拉马克主义的特别运用。这篇论文描述和分析了这些曲目，并解释了它是如何被非生物学家使用的。在此背景下，我分析了迪尔凯姆1882年至1892年间的早期作品，以证实我的论点。

期刊介绍： The Journal of the History of Biology is devoted to the history of the life sciences, with additional interest and concern in philosophical and social issues confronting biology in its varying historical contexts. While all historical epochs are welcome, particular attention has been paid in recent years to developments during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. JHB is a recognized forum for scholarship on Darwin, but pieces that connect Darwinism with broader social and intellectual issues in the life sciences are especially encouraged. The journal serves both the working biologist who needs a full understanding of the historical and philosophical bases of the field and the historian of biology interested in following developments and making historiographical connections with the history of science.
