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.
One of his most important contributions to sociology was the idea that societies are built on social facts. Social facts are patterned ways of acting, thinking, and feeling that exist outside any one individual but that exert social control over each person.
