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 term, sociology, meaning the study of society was given to this new science by the man. He suggested applying the scientific method, known as positivism, to society. Herbert Spencer is referred as the second founder of sociology. Unlike Comte, he thinks that sociology should not influence social reform. He thinks that the evolution of society should be left to improve on its own.
