Summary note

"The Routledge International Handbook of Simmel Studies documents the richness, variety and creativity of contemporary international research on Georg Simmel's work. Starting with the established role of Simmel as a classical author of sociology and including the growing interest in his work in the domain of philosophy, this volume explores the research on Simmel in several further disciplines including art, social aesthetics, literature, theatre, essayism and critical theory, as well as in the debates on cosmopolitanism, economic pathologies of life, freedom, modernity, religion, and nationalism. Bringing together contributions from leading specialists in research on Simmel, the book is thematically arranged in order to highlight the relevance of his oeuvre for different fields of recent research, with a further section tracing the most important paths that Simmel's reception has taken in the world. As such, it will appeal to scholars across the social sciences and humanities, and to sociologists, philosophers and social theorists in particular, with interest in Simmel's thought"-- Provided by publisher.
