Maybe your dog has been diagnosed with a dietary responsive disease. Perhaps itâs time to switch from puppy to adult food or from adult to mature food. Or maybe youâve simply decided that your dogâs current diet isnât the best choice for him anymore.
Durkheim defined religion as a unified system of beliefs and practices relative to sacred things, that is to say set apart and forbidden, beliefs and practices which unite into one single moral community, called a church, all those who adhere to them (1965 [1912]: 62).
Substantively, Durkheim was interested in that which held society together, and was writing in response to two types of arguments he disagreed with. In his conceptualization of a social fact, he is arguing against social contract theorists, such as Hobbes and Rousseau, who saw all of life in contractual terms.
