Features: This book examines the history of educational institutions and ideas in France spanning over a dozen centuries, covering almost the entire evolution of French Enlightenment education from the "early period" of the early Church to the "crisis period" in the 19th century, and focuses on depicting and analyzing several historical cases. Taking education as the perspective and starting point, it paints a panoramic view of modernity from its emergence to crisis in the sense of institutionalization and civilization. Recognized by the historical field as the foundational work of social history, it has had a creative and revolutionary impact on the later development of France's "Annales School." This book is one of Durkheim's important works, holding a significant position not only in sociology but also in the fields of historiography, pedagogy, intellectual history, and cultural history. A Chinese translation with excellent translation will undoubtedly be valued by scholars worldwide.
