Abstract:

This paper presents some sociological literature that deals with the relationship of Durkheim to contemporary network theory,reconstructs a Durkheimian network theory, and indicates Durkheim's potential contribution to issues that are currently debated in this research area. As for the first point, those who have debated this relationship have not agreed on which of Durkheim's writings is most relevant in this connection and why, nor have they considered each other's work, nor finally have they examined some Durkheimian passages of particular interest. As for the second point,the reconstruction of a Durkheimian network theory has yielded a number of theoretical propositions that have indicated the presuppositions and consequences of the division of labor in society. As for the third point, it has been shown how this Durkheimian theory is compatible with contemporary network theory, and may contribute to the current debate in the field.

1 Introduction. Whether Durkheim may be considered a precursor of network theory is a question that has not escaped scholarly attention. In fact quite a few sociologists have dealt with or touched on it. However they have not agreed on which of Durkheim's writings is most relevant in this connection and why nor have they considered each other's work nor finally have they examined some Durkheimian passages that are of particular interest.
