Simmel's philosophy of society  

Definition

  • Georg Simmel (1858–1918) is a thinker in whom the dialectic of the relationship between philosophy and the social sciences is reflected perhaps in its most refined and complex form. Nowadays, Simmel is generally perceived as one of the classics of sociology, alongside Max Weber, Ferdinand Tönnies, and Émile Durkheim.
