Review - French L'objet du livre est d'atteindre les formes elementaires de la pensee et de la pratique religieuse. Les religions etudiees sont celles que pratiquent les tribus australiennes. Il n'en est pas de plus primitives ni de plus simples [...]. Comme toute religion est une cosmogonie, on ne peut analyser la pensee religieuse sans rencontrer sur sa route les notions qui dominent la pensee logique - notions de temps, d'espace, de classe, de force et de cause, de personnalite. Durkheim montre comment ces idees sont nees dans la religion et de quelles causes sociales elles resultent . C'est ainsi que Felix Alcan annonca la premiere edition desFormes. Un siecle apres, nous presentons ici la premiere edition critique de cet oeuvre monumentale.
