Part of the prestigious Makers of Modern Social Science series, this scholarly volume presents a comprehensive examination of Georg Simmel, one of the most influential and original thinkers in the history of sociology. Editor Lewis A. Coser assembles key writings and critical analyses that illuminate Simmel's groundbreaking contributions to social theory, including his pioneering work on social interaction, conflict, and the philosophy of money. The collection argues that Simmel's micro-sociological perspective — his insistence on studying the forms of human association rather than grand historical forces — fundamentally reshaped how sociologists understand everyday life and social relationships. Written with academic rigour yet intellectual accessibility, the volume remains an essential reference for students and scholars seeking to understand the foundations of modern social science.
