| Résumé: | Godless Intellectuals? offers readers a tour of twentieth-century French intellectual history by one of the finest Durkheimian scholars writing today. At the heart of the book is Durkheim's concept of the sacred. Yet despite the seemingly familiar starting point, Riley's book sparkles with creative ideas, intriguing concepts, and introductions to a broad class of characters. Riley is not a historian of ideas but a sociologist and social theorist. Consequently, he frames the telling of this history with key theoretical categories, which help order a broad range of material., The key protagonists of his story are the Durkheimians: Emile Durkheim, Marcel Mauss, Robert Hertz, and Henri Hubert. |
