April 28, 2017 We have already tried to figure out that Western philosophy was talking about suicide - and never found an answer to the question about the reasons that people voluntarily pass away.

At the end of the nineteenth century, sociology was rapidly into fashion, and French Emil Durkheim became the main trendsetter. He was radical: he did not recognize in his beloved science any philosophical or psychological impurities. In 1897, Durkheim published the monograph "Suicide", trying to get a place in the Higher Scientific League for sociologists. He was sure that the highest spiritual reality - the team, always stands over a person at the time of the fateful decision.
