Extract

In Professional Ethics and Civic Morals, Emile Durkheim (1957: 50) explains that the state is the organ of a particular form of collective consciousness. This consciousness is not

so obscure and so indefinite as these collective representations that are spread throughout all societies-myths, religious or moral legends, and so on. … The representations that derive from the state are always more conscious of themselves, and of their causes and their aims. They have been concerted in a way that is less obscured. The collective agency which plans them realizes better what it is about.
