  • Emile Waxweiler (22. května 1867, Mechelen, Belgie – 26. června 1916 Londýn) byl belgický inženýr a sociolog. Byl členem a Mezinárodního statistického institutu. Emile Waxweiler se narodil 22. května 1867 v městě Mechelenu v Belgii a zemřel koncem června 1916 při dopravní nehodě v Londýně, kde působil na London School of Economics. Waxweiler dosáhl nejvyššího stupně vzdělání v inženýrství na univerzitě v Gentu. Následně strávil dva roky ve Spojených státech amerických, kde studoval otázku průmyslové organizace. V roce 1895 byl jmenován vedoucím oddělení statistiky belgického Úřadu práce a od roku 1897 pořádal kurzy politické a finanční ekonomie, statistiky a demografie, stejně jako deskriptivní geometrie na univerzitě Université Libre de Bruxelles.

  • Emile Waxweiler (1867–1916) was a Belgian engineer and sociologist. He was a member of the Royal Academy of Belgium as well as the International Institute of Statistics (Sarton 1917: 168). Waxweiler was born in Mechelen, Belgium, 22 May 1867, and died in a street accident in London, where he was attached to the London School of Economics, in late June 1916 (Sarton 1917: 168). Waxweiler's education included taking the “highest degree” in engineering from the University of Ghent, and then spending a year in the United States, where he studied labor questions and industrial organization (Sarton 1917: 168). In 1895, he was appointed head of the statistics section of the Belgian Office of Labor, and from 1897 on, Waxweiler taught courses in political and financial economics, statistics and demographics, as well as descriptive sociology, at the Université Libre de Bruxelles (Sauveur 1924: 395–396). These teaching obligations did not prevent him, however, from serving, beginning in 1901–1902, as director of the Solvay Institute of Sociology (Sarton 1917: 168; Sauveur 1924: 395). In addition to his career-long emphasis on the importance of statistics as an analytical tool for all of the life sciences (Sauveur 1924: 397; Waxweiler 1909a), Waxweiler's major scientific contribution was his conception of sociology as a subfield of biology, in particular, ethology (Waxweiler 1906). In his Esquisse d’une sociologie of 1906, Waxweiler defined sociology (along with its alternative names of “social ethology” and “social energetics”), as “the science, one could almost say, the physiology of reactive phenomena caused by the mutual excitations of individuals of the same species, without distinctions of sex” (Waxweiler 1906: 62–63). Furthermore, Waxweiler early on advocated a system of profit-sharing by which employees become co-partners with their employers (Waxweiler 1898; Gide 1899: 240; Willoughby 1899: 121), and also argued for compulsory education laws and limits on child labor in Belgium (McLean and Waxweiler 1906). In the final two years of his life, Waxweiler published two popular books dealing with Germany's invasion of Belgium in 1914 (Waxweiler 1915; 1916). (en)
