Opis

Georg Simmel predicted that he would have no followers after his death. However, he is now widely recognized as the father of the sociology of modernity. His ideas on the metropolis, consumer culture, social space and aesthetics are at the crux of the contemporary debate in sociology. This collection brings together the essential secondary literature on Simmel. It is the most concise yet comprehensive view of this astonishingly prescient and penetrating sociologist.
