Moral Personality of Modern Society: On Emile Durkheim’s Moral Education Thought

This paper focuses on the concept of personality to understand the intent and practice of Emile Durkheim’s moral education thought. In Durkheim’s social theory， an important dangerous aspect of modern society is the false abstract reason and atomized individuals who alienated with group and society. On the other hand，trying to eliminate the personality， we often impose some kind of ＂holistic view＂ on people. This attempt can also cause enthusiasm and centralization of power. To reconcile the tension between personality and society， Durkheim tries to make personality incorporate the society in itself and surpass arbitrary， subjective abstraction. Individuals and society should achieve the state of organic combination in modern society. Therefore， the school of educational thought associated with Durkheim aims to cultivate a sound moral personality： the man who has a sound moral personality respect authorities， love friends and schoolmates and has a true sense of whole. In other words， he is united with collective moral life and society completely.
