This is an elaboration of the author’s previous efforts in Emile Durkheim and the Reformation of Sociology (1988) and The Coming Fin de Siècle (1991) to demonstrate Durkheim’s neglected relevance to postmodern discourse. The aims include finding affinities between our fin de siècle and Durkheim’s fin de siècle, and connecting the contemporary themes of rebellion against Enlightenment narratives found in postmodern culture with similar concerns found in Durkheim’s sociology and in his fin de siècle culture, contributing to Durkheimian scholarship and postmodern discourse.
