Durkheim, the âfounding fatherâ of sociology. David Ãmile Durkheim was a French sociologist, social psychologist and philosopher. He formally established the academic discipline and â with Karl Marx and Max Weber â is commonly cited as the principal architect of modern social science and father of sociology.
The first modern social theories (known as classical theories) that begin to resemble the analytic social theory of today developed almost simultaneously with the birth of the science of sociology. Auguste Comte (1798â1857), known as the father of sociology and regarded by some as the first philosopher of science, laid the groundwork for positivism â as well as structural functionalism and social evolutionism.
