The German sociologist and philosopher Georg Simmel (1858-1918) is recognized as a leading early twentieth-century European social theorist. This collection enables the reader to engage with the full range of Simmel's dazzling contributions to the study of culture. It opens with Simmel's basic essays on defining culture, its changes and its crisis. These are followed by more specific explorations of: the culture of face-to-face interactions; spatial and urban culture; leisure culture; the culture of money and commodities; the culture of belief; and the politics of female culture.

Simmel on Culture,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Simmel on Culture: Selected Writings (Published in association with Theory, Culture & Society) (Paperback)
This review might sound a bit strange to many readers as it comes from an unlikely field, namely the study of management.
This book has been an eye-opener for me. Simmel's insightful thought, expressed in beautifully poetic language, has contributed directly to the development of organisational life-cycle theories, and especially that of I. Adizes. His way of looking at cultural development in terms of content versus form, of structure versus flexibility, of life energy versus constraints, as well as his categorisation of individual characters have proved very fertile when transplanted in the field of management. It is a pity that this debt has not been acknowledged more openly.
