Answer 3

There are any number of answers for this but in short Marx believed that revolution was inevitable and in fact could be encouraged. Durkheim believed that society was on a set evolutionary path and that could not be sped up by any means... the key phrase for Durkheim was "evolution NOT revolution." If you don't like the way things are in society.... just wait and things will eventually change.....

Answer 4

They both saw society as progressing in stages (Comte's Law of Three stages and Marx's modes of production). They both also seemed to think that the point of understanding society was to make it better, which can be seen in Comte's positivism and the fact that Marx's thought led to a communist state (which, in his opinion, would be better than capitalism). They both also seemed to think that society can be predictable, like in the natural world. Comte openly stated this and Marx implied it by actually making predictions. However, as you can probably see, this similarities arent too deep.

Answer 5

Karl Marx focused on analyzing social conflict and inequality, emphasizing the role of economic factors in shaping society. Emile Durkheim, on the other hand, studied the role of institutions in maintaining social order and cohesion, highlighting the importance of shared values and norms in society. Marx's work is associated with conflict theory, while Durkheim's is linked to functionalism.
