In 1899 and 1907, Polish patriotic circles contacted well-known European and American intellectuals and politicians, asking them to express themselves on the subject of independence for Poland, which was then divided between Russia, Prussia and Austria. Emile Durkheim responded to both requests. The present article comments on these mostly unknown texts by Durkheim. The replies sent by Ferdinand Tönnies, Vilfredo Pareto and other scholars in the social sciences are also briefly discussed.

W artykule zostaje podjęta próba zinterpretowania twórczości klasyka socjologii Emile’a Durkheima jako prekursora komunitaryzmu, współczesnego nurtu teoretycznego i ruchu społecznego. Rozważania dotyczą pośredniego charakteru obu koncepcji oraz zawartej w nich refleksji moralnej; analizie poddane zostaje też rozumienie jednostki i jej relacji ze społeczeństwem. Zasadnicze podobieństwo, jakie łączy francuskiego myśliciela z podejściem komunitariańskim, polega na postrzeganiu świata społecznego w kategoriach pośrednich, co sytuuje obie koncepcje pomiędzy klasycznymi dychotomiami: liberalizmem i konserwatyzmem, indywidualizmem i wspólnotowością, woluntaryzmem i determinizmem itp.

The article focuses on the attempt to interpret the work of Emile Durkheim, a classic of sociology, as a precursor of communitarianism, which is a contemporary theoretical approach and a social movement. The intermediary character of both concepts and of the moral reflection included in them, as well as the understanding of an individual and its relations with a society are analyzed. The perception of the social world in intermediary categories places both approaches, the Durkheimian and the communitarian, in-between the classical dichotomies: liberalism and conservatism, individual and community, voluntarism and determinism, etc.

Whereas Emile Durkheim (1858-1917) has long been envisioned as a structuralist, quantitative, and positivist sociologist, some materials that Durkheim produced in the later stages of his career-namely, Moral Education (1961 [1902-1903]), The Evolution of Educational Thought (1977 [1904-1905]), The Elementary Forms of the Religious Life (1915 [1912]), and Pragmatism and Sociology (1983 [1913-1914]) attest to a very different conception of sociology-one with particular relevance to the study of human knowing, acting, and interchange. Although scarcely known in the social sciences, Emile Durkheim’s (1993 [1887]) “La Science Positive de la Morale en Allemagne” [“The Scientific Study of Morality in Germany”] is an exceptionally important statement for establishing the base of much of Durkheim’s subsequent social thought and for comprehending the field of sociology more generally. This includes the structuralist-pragmatist divide and the more distinctively humanist approach to the study of community life that Durkheim most visibly develops later (1961 [1902-1903]; 1977 [1904-1905]; 1915 [1912]; 1983 [1913-1914]) in his career.
