20th century

This dimension places a social theorist in the years they were actually active. Wikipedia records Durkheim lived from "15 April 1858" until his death in 1917, publishing his major works across the 1890s and into the early 20th century. Browsing by era sets a theorist alongside the peers who were writing during the same period.
