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.

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.

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)
