Resumo: In the present article, I intend to revise some of the concepts used by Durkheim regarding an ethical and moral postulate that permeates different stages of his work: this postulate refers to the moral value of civilization, expressed on the dichotomy between nature and society. From this starting point, I revise the sociological problem of anomie and its distinction to that of egoism. Furthermore, it will be demonstrated the way by which natural determinations and the simbolic figures of the irracional appear in his historical-sociological comprehension. That will be done through the analysis of three categories of historical forces: (1) natural-historical forces of individuation, (2) historical forces of interaction, and (3) the rational action of the State as an autonomous and privileged social subject. I conclude demonstrating how, by the prism of the ethical-moral postulate of prevalence of society above nature, democracy is perceived by him as the historical purpose of civilization.

A partir disso, revisei o problema sociológico da anomia e o de sua distinção teórica em relação ao do egoísmo. Em seguida, mostro de que modo as determinações naturais e as figuras simbólicas do irracional aparecem na compreensão histórica e sociológica de Durkheim. Fiz isso através da análise de três categorias de forças históricas: (1) forças histórico-naturais de individuação, (2) forças históricas de tipo interacional e (3) a ação racional do Estado como sujeito social autônomo e privilegiado. Concluo mostrando de que modo, em vista do postulado ético-moral de prevalência da sociedade sobre a natureza, a democracia se apresenta para ele como o sentido histórico da civilização. Universidade Federal do Ceará2016-01-21info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://www.periodicos.ufc.br/revcienso/article/view/2432Revista de Ciências Sociais (Social Sciences' Journal); Vol. 45 No. 1 (2014): Sociologia no Ensino Médio; 149-185Revista de Ciências Sociais (Revista de Ciencias Sociales); Vol. 45 Núm. 1 (2014): Sociologia no Ensino Médio; 149-185Revista de Ciências Sociais; v. 45 n. 1 (2014): Sociologia no Ensino Médio; 149-1852318-46200041-8862reponame:Revista de Ciências Sociaisinstname:Universidade Federal do Ceará (UFC)instacron:UFCporhttp://www.periodicos.ufc.br/revcienso/article/view/2432/1876Copyright (c) 2018 Revista de Ciências Sociaisinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessOda, André2018-11-08T21:38:40Zoai:periodicos.ufc:article/2432Revistahttp://periodicos.ufc.br/revciensoPUBhttp://www.periodicos.ufc.br/index.php/revcienso/oai||rcs.ufc@gmail.com|| cunhafilho@ufc.br2318-46200041-8862opendoar:2018-11-08T21:38:40Revista de Ciências Sociais - Universidade Federal do Ceará (UFC)false
