When Sociological Impressionism was first published in 1981, it was
the first comprehensive study on Simmel's social theory to appear
in English since 1925. A pioneering work, it did much to bring
about the rediscovery of Georg Simmel as one of the key
sociologists of the twentieth century. David Frisby provides a
provocative introduction to aspects of Simmel's social theory,
seriously challenging many interpretations of his work, most
notably the view that Simmel produced a formal sociology. By
drawing on many little-known essays and pieces by Simmel and his
contemporaries, the book locates him within the social and
intellectual milieu in which he was working. This is a reissue of
the second edition, published in 1992, which includes a new
afterword confronting critical responses to the first edition. This
is an important work, which will be of interest to students of
sociology and social philosophy in Germany in the late nineteenth
and early twentieth century.
