Primitive Classification (Routledge Revivals) - Routledge Revivals: Emile Durkheim: Selected Writings in Social Theory 1st edition

Claims that the individual mind is capable of classification and they seek the origin of the 'classificatory function' in society. This title argues that the mode of classification is determined by the form of society and that the notions of space, time, hierarchy, number, class and other such cognitive categories are products of society.
