one of the clearest, and, fittingly, unbiased accounts of reason ive ever seen (although i may admittedly be displaying my-side bias by saying this); felt like a breath of fresh air, a great clarification among the other antiquated and patchwork views on Reason that are so prevalent in most if not all fields of science and common understanding

Durkheim does not shy away from exposing every example from Australian tribes with careful presentation and wording throughout the book. This part, although very interesting and full of insightful distinctions (e.g. magic vs religion), can fall into an expression of ideas that is wordy and very careful with being precise to the detriment of the readability of the book. I thus can't say that this extended listen was easy to get through.

However, this book reaches its apogee in the conclusion, where we finally get Durkeim's general take on all the ideas he meticulously exposed throughout the book. It is easy to see why these ideas were revolutionary, and, despite the taint of European colonialism ideology coloring Durkheim's speech concerning his "primitive societies", why the understanding of religion and society as an emergent being, aimed for survival and embodied in the mind of the believer became so crucial to our modern understanding of sociology.
