Resumo

This collection of essays by Georg Simmel, edited and introduced by Donald N. Levine, explores the tension between individual and society, a central theme in Simmel's work. The selections, spanning the breadth of Simmel's career, address topics such as the role of secrecy and confession in social life, the dynamics of fashion, the metropolis and mental life, and the nature of conflict. Levine's introduction provides valuable context, situating Simmel's contributions within the broader intellectual currents of his time and highlighting the continuing relevance of his ideas for contemporary sociology. The book aims to demonstrate Simmel's sophisticated understanding of the complex interplay between individual experience and social structures.
