BOOK EXCERPT:
Emile Durkheim’s 1897 On Suicide is widely recognized as one of the foundational classic texts of sociology. It is also one that shows the degree to which strong interpretative skills can often provide the bedrock for high-level analysis. Durkheim's aim was to analyse the nature of suicide in the context of society itself – examining it not just as an individual decision, but one in which different social factors played important roles. In order to do this, it was vital that he both define and classify suicide into subtypes – kinds of suicide with different causal factors at play. From his research, Durkheim identifed four broad types of suicide: egoistic (from a sense of not-belonging), altruistic (from a sense that group goals far outweigh individual well-being), anomic (from lack of moral or social direction), and fatalistic (in response to excessive discipline or oppression). These definitions opened the way for Durkheim to pursue a close social analysis examining how each type related to different social contexts. While his study is in certain ways dated, it remains classic precisely because it helped define the methodology of sociology itself – in which interpretative skills remain central.

BOOK EXCERPT:
This study of Durkheim seeks to help the reader to achieve a historical understanding of his ideas and to form critical judgments about their value. To some extent these tow aims are contradictory. On the one hand, one seeks to understand: what did Durkheim really mean, how did he see the world, how did his ideas related to one another and how did they develop, how did they related to their biographical and historical context, how were they received, what influence did they have and to what criticism were they subjected, what was it like not to make certain distinctions, not to see certain errors, of fact or of logic, not to know what has subsequently become known? On the other hand, one seeks to assess: how valuable and how valid are the ideas, to what fruitful insights and explanations do they lead, how do they stand up to analysis and to the evidence, what is their present value? Yet it seems that it is only by inducing oneself not to see and only by seeing them that one can make a critical assessment. The only solution is to pursue both aims--seeing and not seeing--simultaneously. More particularly, this book has the primary object of achieving that sympathetic understanding without which no adequate critical assessment is possible. It is a study in intellectual history which is also intended as a contribution to sociological theory.

BOOK EXCERPT:
Originally published in 1995, this volume addresses a topical subject: assisted suicide. The book discusses the issues surrounding the morality of suicide and in so doing clarifies the literature in applied ethics. It critiques the complex moral and religious arguments on the topic offered by philosophers and theologians. It establishes a middle position between those who hold that suicide is never morally permissible and those who claim it always is and it determines when second parties ought to aid and when they ought to prevent suicides.

Essay from the year 2022 in the subject Sociology - Law and Delinquency, , language: English, abstract: Violent death, encapsulating suicide and homicide, remains a pervasive global concern, spanning a spectrum from individual acts to large-scale atrocities like genocide and war. This paper provides a nuanced examination of violent death's multifaceted dimensions, delving into distinct issues such as suicide in developed industrial societies, the prominence of war in certain regions, and the often overlooked facets of violence affecting both the young and the elderly. In Western post-industrialized countries, violent death, encompassing homicide, suicide, and accidents, stands as a leading cause of mortality among the youth, while domestic violence and professional nursing violence impact the elderly. Despite its omnipresence, there exists a significant dearth of reflective knowledge on violence. This study sheds light on the alarming prevalence of violence in medium-sized towns, exemplified by the downward spiral explored in the Netflix Series "Flint Town." The correlation between reduced employment opportunities, relative deprivation, and violent outcomes is examined, emphasizing the societal implications of such trends.
