Features: This book examines the history of education systems and ideas in France spanning over a dozen centuries, covering the evolution of French Enlightenment education from its "early church period" to the "crisis period" of the 19th century, while focusing on depicting and analyzing several historical case studies. From the perspective of education, it paints a panoramic view of modernity from its emergence to its crisis in terms of institutionalization and civilization. Recognized by the historical community as a foundational work of social history, it has had a creative and revolutionary impact on the development of France's "Annales School" in later years. This book is one of Durkheim's important works, holding significant positions not only in sociology but also in the fields of historical studies, educational studies, intellectual history, and cultural history. For a Chinese translation that is outstanding, it will undoubtedly be highly valued by scholars worldwide.
