Features: This book is part of the "Pocket Classics" series within the "21st Century Human Culture Series." The original French text of this book was compiled and published based on the lecture notes of Durkheim delivered at the Sorbonne University in France from 1913 to 1914. The primary reason for choosing the topic of "Pragmatism" for discussion is that "at that time, pragmatism had almost become the only prevailing truth theory, had shown a withering effect on the Western philosophical tradition, and had also demonstrated close affinities with sociological thought." Therefore, the author is committed to providing a fair and just evaluation or critique of pragmatism, as well as clarifying the relationship between pragmatism and sociology. The release of this Chinese translation aims to allow readers, through the translator's brilliant writing, to glimpse the inherent tension in Durkheim's thought.
