Form and Dialectic in Georg Simmel's Sociology

A New Interpretation

Beschreibung

This book shows that a dialectical conceptual model underpins Georg Simmel's writings. The book provides key examples of social forms - including fashion, the secret and money - as exemplifications of this method. The volume concludes with a reassessment of Simmel's relevance today.

Rezensionen

'What this book represents is an important attempt to reflect across Simmel's work. It attempts to find unity in the fragmentation and, most importantly, it gathers Simmel's thoughts in a way that affords and suggests a range of possibilities for continuing our explorations into his work.' - Berfrois
