Stipulating that an adequate integrated paradigm for sociology must embrace two basic social dimensions, macro- to micro-social and the objective— subjective aspects of social life, we ask whether Durkheim's work meets these requirements. We find that although his work can contribute to this end (with its recognition of multiple levels of reality, the relations among these levels and their change through history, and with its marked contributions at the macro-subjective level) it is nonetheless an inadequate exemplar for an integrated paradigm. His work is marred by one-way causal attributions, by an overemphasis on the macro-subjective level, by an undeveloped conception of human nature, and a restricted view of science.
