Description

Thomas Kemple's book on Georg Simmel offers a clear and accessible introduction to the philosopher's sociological and philosophical work. This comprehensive guide covers Simmel's most famous writings, including "The Philosophy of Money" and "The Metropolis and Mental Life", as well as lesser-known works such as his essays on nature, art, religion, and sexuality.

Through a detailed analysis of Simmel's thought, Kemple situates his work within its social and intellectual context, discussing it in relation to current debates in urban sociology, social networks, phenomenology, metaphysics, cultural criticism, and the study of everyday life. The book also explores the innovative spirit of Simmel's unique method of thinking about cultural objects.

Commemorating the 100th anniversary of Simmel's death, this book provides a leading guide to his thought for generations of students and scholars. With diagrams, everyday examples, and expositions of the work of predecessors and contemporaries, it offers a highly readable introduction to Simmel's sociological and philosophical legacy.
