"If we build that religion of humanity as we should, there will be strong opposition to all that threatens our common faith. 'If every enterprise directed against the rights of an individual revolts [us], it is not only by sympathy with the victim, neither is it for fear of having to suffer like injustices [ourselves]. It is that such attacks cannot go on with impunity without compromising the nation's existence.' I think sociology can enable us to bring that about. With it, we can uncover the profound dynamics of social life that make the social world we see before our eyes." - from Racecraft by Karen Fields & Barbara Fields, featuring Emile Durkheim in L'Individualisme
