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.
People who study sociology are called sociologists. Auguste Comte (1789 - 1857) was first to use the term. The problems caused by the change to an industrial society, where many people moved to cities and worked in factories, was an early focus of sociology. Karl Marx, Max Weber and Ãmile Durkheim were leading figures in the study of social phenomena.
