This book is a first of its kind: an edited collection bringing the finest of Georg Simmel's writing on art and aesthetics together, and bringing many of these essays into English for the first time. Simmel is considered one of the founding fathers of modern sociology but he, like his contemporary Walter Benjamin, wrote about many aspects of life and culture. Simmel's intellectual contributions have long been recognized and he is a keystone in cultural theory of (...) the early 20th century. The essays in this collection are gathered topically and show the wide range of Simmel's thinking even within the arts: aesthetics, landscape, theater, sculpture, literature, and more. Austin Harrington is the brilliant guide behind this substantial volume. He served as editor and translator and also wrote an introduction. Richly informative and thoroughly familiar with Simmel's life and work, Harrington's introduction will itself be an important contribution to the scholarship on Simmel. (shrink)

La position de l'Allemagne impériale soucie Georg Simmel : où doit-elle se situer vis-à-vis de la catastrophe survenant dans la vieille Europe disloquée, et à l'heure de son «américanisation»? Il s'exprime ici moins en universitaire qu'en penseur du lien social, à qui les formes et l'intensité de la guerre en cours imposent une difficile épreuve de vérité. Epreuve personnelle aussi, car la Grande Guerre oppose les philosophes de la même école de pensée - comme on le voit en (...) lisant les pages de Simmel en regard des adresses de Bergson à ses collègues académiciens, puis à l'opinion américaine.

This revised edition of the first complete translation of the seminal work 'Die Philosophie des Geldes' by Georg Simmel includes a new preface by David Frisby.

The complete translation of Simmel's classic work in which he provides us with a dazzling and wide-ranging discussion of the social, psychological and philosophical aspects of the money economy.

Georg Simmel developed a "form" method for the newly revived field of sociology, drawing on the subjectivity/objectivity dialectic. While his book's organization differs from that of contemporary texts, his method remains implicit in the field to this day.

Vier Metaphysische Kapitel :1. Die Transzendenz des Lebens2. Die Wendung zur Idee3. Tod und Unsterblichkeit4. Das individuelle Gesetz.

Presented alongside these seminal essays are aphoristic fragments from Simmel’s last journal, providing a beguiling look into the mind of one of the twentieth century’s greatest thinkers.

Die Probleme der Geschichtsphilosophie, Eine erkenntnistheoretische Studie by Georg Simmel. This book is a reproduction of the original book published in 1892 and may have some imperfections such as marks or hand-written notes.

First published in 1916 in German, Rembrandt is one of Simmel's most important works. Is has never been translated into English--until now. Simmel attacks such questions as "What do we see in a work of Art?" and "What do Rembrandt's portraits tell us about human nature?" This is a major work by a major thinker concerning one of the world's most important painters.

Originally published in the avant-garde Jugendstil journal Jugend between 1901 and 1902, this selection of six of Simmel’s short experimental pieces illustrates themes of this special section while also showing him playing with unconventional genres of philosophical and sociological writing. The comical sketch ‘Beyond Beauty’ anticipates issues Simmel treats more systematically in his essays on the philosophy of art; the poem ‘Only a Bridge’ is concerned with themes of social separation and psychic connection discussed in his sociological treatises; (...) and four pieces collectively titled ‘Snapshots sub specie aeternitatis’ present stories or anecdotes in the form of satirical commentaries: ‘“Money Alone Doesn’t Bring Happiness”’, a conversation about the psychology of money; ‘The Maker of Lies’ and ‘Relativity’, two Faustian fables on the power of truth and knowledge; and ‘La Duse’, a lyrical appreciation of the famous Italian actress reflecting on how the soul’s movements are expressed through bodily gestures. As in Simmel’s later writings, these allegorical fragments attempt to recover ideal or even absolute values from the fleeting forms and fugitive experiences of modern life. (shrink)
