In The Elementary Forms of the Religious Life, as well as in two other texts, Durkheim criticizes Wundt's perspective on the origins of totemism and the relationship between religion and society in Australia and in general. Wundt replies to Durkheim in 1914 and 1917. This debate arises from two different ways of explaining social phenomena.
