AlbakiReads Editorial
Suicide through a sociological lens
Originally published in 1897, Émile Durkheim’s *Suicide* examines a subject the supplied description says had been regarded as psychological and individual. The book’s defining move is to ask what a sociological explanation can add to that understanding. That shift makes it a study of how a discipline frames its questions, as well as an inquiry into suicide. The description does not specify Durkheim’s evidence or conclusions, so this edition is best understood here by its central argument for a social perspective.
