Bringing together the work of scholars from across Europe, this
book shows how Simmel's categories can be used to explore
contemporary issues and further shed light on trends characteristic
of global modernity. Thematically organised around the major
societal challenges currently faced by developed countries - those
of making societies that are inclusive, reflexive and creative,
sustainable, and democratic societies - it examines diverse
phenomena, such as living in an increasingly multicultural
societies, the social exclusion of vulnerable ethnic groups, the
increasing concern with cyberbullying, the need to fight climate
change, the rise of political populism, and the recruitment of
youths from western countries to Islamic religious fundamentalism.
Drawing on Simmel's sociological theory and expounding new
approaches to research inspired by his work, this volume emphasises
the conceptual pillars of Simmelian thought, meanings, processes,
and forms. As such, it will appeal to scholars of sociology and
social theory with interests in the work of Simmel and its
contemporary relevance.
