Addressing Social Theory and Nationalism in Respect to the Theories of Durkheim and Anderson. This paper compares the link that exists between Emile Durkheim's classic efforts in social theory and Benedict Anderson's new approach to the "imagined community." A focus on nationalism is used to direct this discussion. In doing so, this paper emphasizes that both Durkheim and Anderson argue in favor of their perspective that community is the manifestation of social ideals and norms.
