Compare and contrast Marx and Engels and Durkheim in their thoughts about the decline in social solidarity in the 1800s.
What will be an ideal response?
Durkheim saw the situation as a moral problem and argued that the social solidarity of the future would depend on an effective combination of controls through modes of social integration and social regulation that could operate in tune with the new division of labor that had been created by industrialization. Marx and Engels saw the problem in economic terms, denounced the new division of labor as the unjust exploitation of one social class by another, and insisted that social solidarity could be regained only with the overthrow of capitalism itself. They proposed revolution followed by a period of socialism. Because in their view the political state existed essentially as a mechanism for the perpetuation of capitalism, it was deemed historically inevitable that the state would then “wither away,” leaving a society based on the true brotherhood and sisterhood of communism.
