Abstract

This article aims to examine Emile Durkheim's contributions to the development of modern sociology by highlighting the relevance of his theories in understanding contemporary social challenges and their application in social research in Indonesia. The analysis focuses on five main aspects, namely the theory of social solidarity, the role of law as a representation of collective morality, religion as a structure of shared values, the tension between individualism and social integration, and Durkheim's global influence on sociological paradigms. This study uses a qualitative approach with a review of the latest scientific literature available openly through Dimensions.ai. The results show that Durkheim's framework of thought is not only historical but also applicable in understanding the dynamics of modern Indonesian society, which is characterized by pluralism, value disintegration, and a crisis of social meaning
