The word “Durkheimism” in this paper refers to the set of proposals put forward by Emile Durkheim concerning the ways out of the economic, social and spiritual crises he saw in his time. Those proposals were not just arguments on paper,but, in fact, an important component of social reforms in western developed countries of the 20 th century. The aim of this article is to show that those proposals of Durkheimism had indeed brought some positive contributions to the alleviation of those crises faced by the liberal modernity institution in the end of the 19 th century, but they also had produced some unexpected harmful side effects which we must give serious consideration when we apply them to our own situation.
