This book draws upon the work of Georg Simmel to explore the limits, tensions and dynamism of social life through a close analysis of the works produced in the final years of his life and reveals what they might still offer some 100 years later.

“Simmel’s interests were wide-ranging. He could find inspiration in all sorts of subjects and topics, and Beer shows in beautiful detail how extraordinarily original Simmel’s world and work actually were. He brings to light the connections between thinking and writing, between form and content, between systematic arguments and passing remarks.” (Daniel Chernilo, Issue (1-4), European Journal of Social Theory, 2020)
