	Georg Simmel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Georg Simmel (March 1, 1858 – September 28, 1918) was one of the first generation of German sociologists.
		Simmel studied philosophy and history at the University of Berlin.
		Simmel writing in 1903 was critical of modern urban life, finding it incompatible with a positive urban culture.

	Notes on Georg Simmel
		Simmel notes that one way individuals assert a personality is to "be different," to adopt manners, fashions, styles, "to appear concentrated and strikingly characteristic." The brevity and fleetingness of contact in the city mean that lasting impressions based on regular and habitual interaction with others cannot be developed.
		Simmel was troubled by this relationship, viewing modern society as freeing the individual from historical and traditional bonds and creating much greater individual freedom, but with individuals also experiencing a great sense of alienation within the culture of urban life.
		Simmel views fashion as developing in the city, "because it intensifies a multiplicity of social relations, increases the rate of social mobility and permits individuals from lower strata to become conscious of the styles and fashions of upper classes." (Ashley and Orenstein, p.

	Georg Simmel: Work
		Simmel's approach to sociology can best be understood as a self-conscious attempt to reject the organicist theories of Comte and Spencer, as well as the historical description of unique events that was cherished in his native Germany.
		Simmel's insistence on the forms of social interaction as the domain peculiar to sociological inquiry was his decisive response to those historians and other representatives of the humanities who denied that a science of society could ever come to grips with the novelty, the irreversibility, and the uniqueness of historical phenomena.
		Simmel's discussion of the differences between small and large groups--between the intensity of involvement among individuals in the primary group and the distance, aloofness, and segmentation of individuals in larger groups--reveals his general dialectical approach to the relation between individual freedom and group structure.

	GEORG SIMMEL ON PHILOSOPHY AND CULTURE (Habermas)
		Simmel was reproached for a relativistic attitude towards Christianity; his unorthodox way of thinking and lecturing came across as provocative; his success with students and his influence on the public at large arose envy; and anti-Semitism went hand in hand with a resentment against literary intellectuals.
		Simmel did not just work with handy formulas, like the one on the retardation of the culture of people behind the enhanced culture of things; he was also influential with his phenomenologically precise description of the modern way of life: "The process of the objectification of cultural contents, which...
		Simmel speaks of a tragedy of culture; he disconnects the pathologies which are exposed in the modern life style from their historical connections, and attributes them to a tendency, imbedded within the process of life, towards the estrangement between the soul and its forms.

	Georg Simmel - The Person (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Georg Simmel was born on March 1, 1858, in the very heart of Berlin, the corner of Leipzigerstrasse and Friedrichstrasse.
		Simmel was a modern urban man, without roots in traditional folk culture.
		Simmel's relation to his domineering mother was rather distant; he seems not to have had any roots in a secure family environment, and a sense of marginality and insecurity came early to the young Simmel.

	Georg Simmel: Biography
		Simmel undoubtedly was gratified that these renowned academicians for whom he had the highest regard recognized his eminence.
		In view of Simmel's enormous success as a lecturer, it must have been especially galling to him that when he finally achieved his academic goal, a full professorship at the University of Strasbourg, he was deprived of practically every opportunity to lecture to students.
		Simmel's influence on the further development of both philosophy and sociology, whether acknowledged or not, has been diffuse yet pervasive, even during those periods when his fame seemed to have been eclipsed.

	CSISS Classics - Georg Simmel: The Sociology of Space
		Georg Simmel (1858-1918) was a major contributor to social science thought whose work offers important insights on the social construction of space.
		Simmel's approach to spatial analysis, especially In 'The Sociology of Space' was, in part, a continuation of his uncompleted project to express the preconditions of human sociation by formal categories of time, mass, and number, which he called "social geometry".
		Simmel's popular essay on "The Stranger" takes up the confluence in such individuals of spatial proximity with others from whom one is also socially distant, who is both outside a group and confronting it.

	Georg Simmel
		Simmel disagreed and explained that society was "merely the name for a number of individuals, connected by interaction." Thus began his influence on symbolic interaction.
		Simmel felt that the major unit of analysis for a sociology student was the patterns and forms by which men (and women) interact and associate with one another.
		Simmel's notion that a sociologist could make abstractions from concrete observation soon became known as "formal sociology." It was so named because human interaction can be studied in its form.

	[No title]
		Simmel was a prolific essayist and a virtuoso lecturer.
		Simmel saw the atomised conditions of modern life — which he was one of the first to analyse under the heading of ‘modernity’ — as producing a new freedom for the individual, and a new abstractness in intellectual life.
		Simmel summed up the ‘typically problematical predicament of modern man: the feeling of being oppressed by an infinity of elements of culture because he can neither incorporate them into his own personal culture nor—because they are potential objects of his subjective culture—can he simply ignore or reject them’.

	Georg Simmel Biography / Biography of Georg Simmel Literary Biography
		Georg Simmel is one of the more paradoxical figures in twentieth-century thought.
		As Jürgen Habermas writes, in his afterword to the 1983 edition of Simmel's book Philosophische Kultur (Philosophical Culture, 1911), Simmel "changed the mode of observation, the themes and style of writing of a whole generation of intellectuals." Yet, there remains no consistent academic method that can be traced directly to his teachings.
		Trained as a philosopher, Simmel is best known for his contributions to the nascent discipline of sociology.

	SOCIOLOGICAL THEORY
		Simmel refers to an ''objective mind'' - the traditions and experiences of one's group, set down in thousands of forms; the art and learning that are present in tangible structures; all the cultural materials that the historical group possesses as something subjective and yet accessible to everyone.
		Simmel contends that the real variability of historical life is vested in the middle classes, and for this reason the history of social and cultural movements has fallen into a different pace since this class has become a dominant force.
		Simmel notes that in his contemporary society the spirit of the age - so to speak - was not so much cultural and unitary as in earlier epochs, but was much more fragmentary and to the extent that it did exist was based more on specialized occupational experience than on culture per se.

	Sergio Benvenuto: Fashion: Georg Simmel
		Georg Simmel's famous article on Fashion, published in 1904, is reviewed, and it is proposed that his analysis, especially in as much as it highlights the roles of both imitation and the need to make distinctions has contemporary relevance to simulation models and to mimetics.
		Simmel's analysis is also capable of making a notable contribution - probably in a critical and negative sense - to a currently expanding sector of study today, that of memetics.
		In each case, this theory of Simmel - as ignored in the Anglo-American countries as it is famous in Italy - lends itself well to the debate both within memetics as well as to the supporters and critics of the memetic hypothesis.

		David Frisby, the eminent Simmel scholar, provides not only an introduction to the major sociological writings of this important figure, but also an argument for a reconsideration of his work.
		Simmel, a central figure in the development of modern sociology, and a contemporary of Weber and Durkheim, was one of the first to identify sociology as a separate discipline.
		Today, over a century after Georg Simmel commenced publishing works on psychology, philosophy and, later, sociology, it is difficult to imagine how significant Simmel was in the development of sociology.

		From Kurt Wolff (Trans.) The Sociology of Georg Simmel.

		For, by creating the fiction that the rebels were not really guilty, but only instigated, and that the rebellion did not really start with them, they exonerate themselves, inasmuch as they altogether deny all real grounds for the uprising.
