Abstract

This article discusses suicide from a sociological and comparative perspective. It emphasizes differences and similarities of two books, namely, Suicide. A Study in Sociology, by Emile Durkheim and Peuchet: On Suicide, by Karl Marx. The text shows that, although the above authors start off from different philosophical premises, their works are complementary, as they both aim to demarcate the sociological field. © 2009 Associação Universitária de Pesquisa em Psicopatologia Fundamental.
