While Georg Simmel is widely known, the impact of his work has been
far from straightforward, with the ways in which his ideas have
been taken up by later thinkers as complex and diverse as the ideas
themselves. The Simmelian Legacy is a comprehensive study of the
work of this influential sociologist and philosopher and its
reception in the Anglophone, German, and French intellectual
worlds. By returning to Simmel and his legacy, this text gives
voice to a corpus of vast significance and great potential that has
lived too much in the shadows. It examines how his relational mode
of thought transforms the landscape of sociological problems to
subvert conventional conceptions of Simmel's oeuvre as well as of
sociology's history. It not only rediscovers key dimensions of
Simmel's thought, but also explores its gradual and uneven
re-emergence within subsequent scholarship. This is an engaging and
lucid, intellectually illuminating and thoroughly accessible
overview of the thought of one of sociology's key thinkers that
will be essential reading for both scholars and students of
sociology and social theory.
