Reviews

'What this book represents is an important attempt to reflect across Simmel's work. It attempts to find unity in the fragmentation and, most importantly, it gathers Simmel's thoughts in a way that affords and suggests a range of possibilities for continuing our explorations into his work.' - Berfrois
