Georg Simmel by David Frisby

Until recently little of Simmel's work was available in translation and certain key texts were unknown outside Germany. David Frisby provides not only an introduction to the major sociological writings of this important figure, but also an argument for a reconsideration of his work. Frisby outlines the cultural and historical context in which Simmel worked, reviews Simmel's most important writings, and examines his legacy to sociology by illuminating his links with Weber's theories and his influential relationship with Marxism.

Georg Simmel (1858-1918) was born in Berlin, the youngest of seven children. He studied philosophy and history at the University of Berlin and was one of the first generation of great German sociologists that included Max Weber.
