Özet:

This study is on Emile Durkheim's moral understanding, who sees sociology as a science of social integration. In the first half of the study, Durkheim sociology is looking for answers to the following questions: What is the social function of ethics? What are the moral differences between traditional and modern societies? What are the new values that rise in modern societies? What are the reasons for the failure of ethics in ensuring integration in modern societies? In the second half of the study, Durkheim’s proposals for solutions to the moral problems of modern societies and its opinions on professional ethics are evaluated. After emphasizing the importance of professional organizations as a new moral authority in terms of political and emotional life, Durkheim’s efforts to reconcile citizenship and humanity are assessed.
