Rapid Industrialization has given rise to serious pathological phenomena of the Modern Society. Excessive Materialism, Value confusion, Moral corruption and Epicureanism have connections with pathological phenomena of the Modern Society called as Anomie. Accordingly, the Objective of this study is to examine closely the cause of Anomie and investigate solutions to Anomie from E. Durkheim's theory of Anomie. To accomplish the above-mentioned objective, this study is based on the preceding research and related literature on Durkheimt theory of Anomie and Moral Education. Chiefly, this study is to use Durkheim's main works and articles extracted from AJS (American Jour nal of Sociology) and ASR(American Sociological Review). The Results of this study are made as follows: 1. The increase of population and the progress of Industrial Technology accelerated the social division of Labor. 2. The social Division of Labor has weakened Social Integration. 3. As Social Integration Weakened, Anomie as Social pathological phenomena has been increased. 4. E. Durkheim has taken a serious view of the establishment of Morality as the center of Social In tegration. 5. E. Durkheim has proposed the occupational, political and educational solutions as the center of Morality, but all those were incomplete solutions which have limitations. In the future, the high-level technological innovation and specialized division of Labor will accelerate the Anomic Situation of the Modern Society. In Conclusion, the restoration of Humanism and Man's autonomic endeavor for Hunanism seems to be the only solution to Anomie.
