'The Anthem Companion to Georg Simmel' brings together new interpretations of the work of this sociologist and philosopher. The companion highlights issues, themes and concepts that most concern readers in social and cultural theory today, with an emphasis on critical perspectives that show how Simmel's work is relevant, interesting and significant for contemporary discussions and debates. Also included in this volume is Austin Harrington’s translation of selections from Simmel’s book on Goethe and a comprehensive list of Simmel’s work in English.
“Earlier scholars frequently misunderstood Simmel’s writings and this misunderstanding is revealed by their claims that his work is both overly formalistic and lacks systematic thinking. This book rectifies many of these types of mistakes and the authors argue that Simmel’s writings clearly deserve to be taken far more seriously than they have been in the past.”
