If the idea of society were extinguished in individual minds and the beliefs, traditions and aspirations of the group were no longer felt and shared by individuals, society would die. We can say of it what we just said of divinity: it is real only in so far as it has a place in the human consciousness, and this place is whatever we may give it.

In 1895, he published The Rules of Sociological Method and set up the first European department of sociology, becoming France's first professor of sociology.
