Abstract
Some aspects of Durkheim's “theories of reorganization of society” are explored according to his main concern : “security of social solidarity”. Normal-pathological judgement is a means to “rationalize” the social ideal of those days such as “the general health of social body”. The central problem of the means is to define the functional relations among social institutions, by emphasising selectively their correspondence to the need of “social solidarity”. The theories of reorganization of society developed from the theory of organic solidarity into the theory of integration of plural association principles. We understand the theory of professional group as connective point of those principles. And, especially, the problem of integration of “particularistic” and “universalistic” association is stressed. Then we present the frame of analysis of theory of anomie, the central issue of which is dysfunctional correspondence to the need of “social solidarity”.
In conclusion, we suggest the orientation of succession of the theory of anomie. It specializes the analysis of cause and process of the occurrence of anomie, according to situation of each society, but the concern about correspondence to the social need, namely “social solidarity”, is common to that of Durkheim.
