A Quote for Sunday

I guess you could say that the rationale of his profession (sociology) is evident in this quote by Emile Durkheim (1858-1917):

"Man is only a moral being because he lives in society, since morality consists in solidarity with the group, and varies according to that solidarity. Cause all social life to vanish, and moral life would vanish at the same time, having no object to cling to."
