In this document, we present an analysis of the book, State of peace. Sociology of love. It is based on the journey into the ethical thinking of a French sociologist who has practices morality. In his book "State of peace. Sociology of love ", the writer presents his analysis of morality within a course of study of complex situations that are drawn from his work "The love and justice as competences" which was based in times of peace. The book is enrolled in the tradition of French sociology that looked forward to moral dimension in the study of society. Boltanski approaches the analysis of moral agreeing with Durkheim on its necessary presence in the social life that he shares with him so as "to re-enter, in study of people in society, the reasons to act and the moral demands that they give themselves, or who would be, if only under ideal conditions.? According to Boltanski, therefore it is essential for sociology to study an element that has an importance in the continuity of society, morality, and understand where he was born, and what form it takes. And to do that in his approach, he departs from the outset in the report of Durkheim between society and the moralities. Boltanski, in fact, seeks to present, within a classification scheme of action, a dimension of a morality that is based on the concept of Christian love or agape, without tying it to the social dimension as Durkheim did.
