Site frozen. Go to Anthrograph for the latest [July 4, 2025]

I am pleased to announce that I am debuting a new site for teaching resources at https://anthrograph.rschram.org. Please visit and browse.

The Anthrocyclopaedia will remain for now as an archive but will no longer be updated. I will be manually moving materials from this site to Anthrograph from today, editing and updating as I go. Thanks for your visits over the many years---over 10!---that this site has been active. I look forward to welcoming you to a new teaching site.

-## Durkheim and Weber, two daimons on my shoulders ##  
  
-I like to think of Emile Durkheim and Max Weber as two little [[http://classics.mit.edu/Plato/apology.html|daimon]]s who sit on each of my shoulders, each whispering different things in 
-my ears. 
- 
-* Durkheim looks at society as a totality. 
- 
-* Weber looks at society as something that develops out individual 
-patterns of action. 
- 
-* Durkheim says that patterns of action are social facts. That is why 
-they matter. 
- 
-* Weber says that social patterns and institutions form because social actions have a meaning to the 
-actor and to the society at large. Social institutions and structures are particualr ways of embodying all the things that people in society value.
