Published in 1918, The View of Life is Georg Simmel's final work.
Famously deemed "the brightest man in Europe" by George Santayana,
Simmel addressed diverse topics across his essayistic writings,
which influenced scholars in aesthetics, epistemology, and
sociology. Nevertheless, certain core issues emerged over the
course of his career - the genesis, structure, and transcendence of
social and cultural forms, and the nature and conditions of
authentic individuality, including the role of mindfulness
regarding mortality. Composed not long before his death, The View
of Life was, Simmel wrote, his "testament," a capstone work of
profound metaphysical inquiry intended to formulate his conception
of life in its entirety. Now Anglophone readers can at last read in
full the work that shaped the argument of Heidegger's Being and
Time and whose extraordinary impact on European intellectual life
between the wars was extolled by Jurgen Habermas. Presented
alongside these seminal essays are aphoristic fragments from
Simmel's last journal, providing a beguiling look into the mind of
one of the twentieth century's greatest thinkers.
