"Das Geld steht vermöge der Abstraktheit seiner Form jenseits aller bestimmten Beziehungen zum Raum: Es kann seine Wirkungen in die weitesten Fernen erstrecken, ja, es ist gewissermaßen in jedem Augenblick der Mittelpunkt eines Kreises potenzieller Wirkungen." G. Simmel

Excerpt from Kant: Sechzehn Vorlesungen Gehalten an der Berliner Universitat Die Darstellungsart wurde durch den Wunsch bestimmt, da das Buch als eine Einleitung in das philosophische Denken diene. Denn die philosophische Betrachtung des Lebens, fur die jede Einzelheit seiner Ober?ache in dem letzten Sinn und den Tiefen des Ganzen wurzelt, wendet es an ein selbst schon philosophisches Objekt: es sucht die Bedeutung der wissenschaftlichen und zum Teil sehr spezialistischen Theorien Kants fur den Sinn des Lebens; es ver folgt die jenseits der Einzeluntersuchungen verlaufenden Faden, die diese zu einem Weltbild verknupfen; es Will die fachmaig-sachlichen Satze Kants nach ihrem eigentlich philomphischen Wert darstelien, namlich als die Antworten einer Seele von vorbildlicher Weite und Tiefe auf den Gesamteindruck des Daseins; mit einer Kantischen Formel: es mochte den Schulbegriff seiner Philosophie durch ihren Weltbegriff interpretieren.

critic philosopher sociologist
Georg Simmel was born on March 1, 1858, in Berlin, Germany; the youngest of seven children. His father, Eduard Simmel, was a prosperous Jewish businessman who became a Roman Catholic. His mother, also of Jewish forebears, was a Lutheran. His father died when Georg was very young.
A family friend and music publisher became Simmel's guardian and left him an inheritance when he died which enabled Simmel to pursue a scholarly career for many years without a salaried position. He studied history and philosophy at the University of Berlin, earning a doctoral degree in 1881.
Simmel’s lifelong interest in the individual led him not only to such widely recognized areas of sociological inquiry as competition, domination and subordination, imitation, opposition, and so forth, but gave his work a fragmented, example-driven structure which some faulted as unsystematic. Moreover, his far-reaching interests impelled him to write on religion, philosophy, psychology, and art, as well as sociology, fueling his critics’ belief that Simmel’s thought was unfocused. Nevertheless, as the field of sociology became more established, Simmel’s influence, particularly on defining this new science as distinct from other social sciences, and his impact on such significant twentieth-century thinkers as Georg Lukács and Max Weber, have been widely recognized.
Concerning his career, Simmel was employed in unpaid positions at the University of Berlin from 1885 until 1914, when he was offered a salaried professorship at the University of Strasbourg, just four years before his death. His difficulty in attaining academic recognition is attributed to German anti-Semitism, and the disapproval of his contemporaries over his refusal to focus on a single area of inquiry.
Though Simmel was recognized as a great thinker and speaker during his lifetime, his contribution to the newly developing field of sociology was hotly contested. Criticism of Simmers theory and practice of sociology during his lifetime centered on his reliance on individual examples, which at times called forth accusations that he was a psychologist or a socialpsychologist rather than a sociologist proper.
In addition, his prose style, often admired as subtle, was also considered scattered or incomplete, leaving some to assume that the author lacked an overarching system of thought or a systematic approach to his subject.
In 1917, Simmel stopped reading the newspapers and withdrew to the Black Forest to finish his book.
After Simmel’s death some of his faults were re-interpreted as assets, evidence of his great yet subtle intellect. By the 1950s, any lingering doubts about whether Simmel’s work was sociology or something else had faded away.
Finally, even Simmel’s formerly troubling diffuse interests could be incorporated into his reputation.
Simmel is one of the founders of the sociology as a science.
He wrote important studies of urban sociology, social conflict theory, and small-group relationships.
Simmel's philosophical writings foreshadowed modern existentialism. His insightful writings still stimulate while more systematic contemporaries are less read.
In 1910 he helped found the German Sociological Association.

(Book by Simmel, Georg)
Georg was baptized a Lutheran but later withdrew from that Church, although he always retained a philosophical interest in religion.
Simmel's wide interests in philosophy, sociology, art, and religion contrasted sharply with those of his more narrowly disciplined colleagues. Eschewing pure philosophy, he preferred to apply it functionally as the philosophy of culture, of money, of the sexes, of religion, and of art. Similarly in sociology, the field of his lasting renown, he favored isolating multiple factors.
A key aspect of his thought is the view that the very structures which facilitate social interaction significantly conflict with the interests of the individual.
Quotations: "I know that I shall die without intellectual heirs. My legacy will be, as it were in cash, distributed to many heirs, each transforming his part into use conformed to his nature..."
Ortega y Gasset compared Simmel to a philosophical squirrel, gracefully acrobatic in leaping from one branch of knowledge to another.
Quotes from others about the person
"Simmel himself admits that he did not develop a system. His sociological work consists of a series of essays on subjects not systematically related but selected because of their importance for the study of forms of social interaction." - Rudolph Heberle
“Simmel was, in the original sense of the word, a dilettante, an amateur passion. He appears to have written about human society, art, philosophy, religion and money because he took delight in doing so.” - Everett C. Hughes
In 1890, Georg married Gertrud Kinel, a philosopher. They had one son, Hans Eugen Simmel, who became a medical doctor. Georg and Gertrud's granddaughter was the psychologist Marianne Simmel.
