Form and dialectic in Georg Simmel's sociology

a new interpretation

Henry Schermer, David Jary

This book shows that a dialectical conceptual model underpins Georg Simmel's writings. The book provides key examples of social forms – including fashion, the secret and money – as exemplifications of this method. The volume concludes with a reassessment of Simmel's relevance today.
