Since the system of accepted ideas must be modified to make room for the new order of things and to establish new concepts, men’s minds resist through mere laziness. Yet we have to be clear. If there is such a thing as sociology, it can only be the study of a world hitherto unknown, different from those explored by the other sciences. This world is nothing if not a system of realities. (1897b: 309–10) 32 G. Tarde and E. Durkheim Tarde At first glance, one cannot make sense of this; but once initiated into the doctrine of the author, here is what it means: it is not the more or less of generalization, of imitative propagation of a fact, which constitutes its more or less social character; it is the more or less of coercivity.

And yet a different picture emerges from one of Tarde’s most explicit discussions of the links between the biological and the social, in the second half of his article ‘Les deux éléments de la sociologie’ (Tarde, 1898a). There, Tarde pointedly argued against social evolutionist accounts of humanity’s progressive shift 14 M. Candea from biological ties to more straightforwardly social ones (see Kuper, 2005), as well as Durkheim’s claim to a radical separation between the two ‘levels’ of analysis.
