The View of Life
Author: Georg Simmel
ISBN: 9780226757834
Format: Hardcover
Number Of Pages: 240
Published: 1 December 2010
Country of Publication: US
Dimensions (cm): 22.9 x 15.2 x 2.54
Description:
Published in 1918, "The View of Life" is Georg Simmel's final work. Famously deemed "the brightest man in Europe" by George Santayana, Simmel addressed a variety of topics across his essayistic writings, which have influenced scholars in aesthetics, ethics, epistemology, and sociology. Nevertheless, a set of core issues emerged over the course of his career, most centrally the genesis, structure, and transcendence of social and cultural forms and the nature and genesis of authentic individuality. Composed in the years before his death, "The View of Life" was, according to Simmel, his "testament," a capstone work of profound metaphysical inquiry intended to formulate his conception of life in its entirety.
Now Anglophone readers can at last read in full the work that shaped the argument of Heidegger's "Being and Time" and whose extraordinary impact on European intellectual life between the wars was extolled by Jurgen Habermas. Presented alongside these seminal essays are aphoristic fragments from Simmel's last journal, providing a beguiling look into the mind of one of the twentieth century's greatest thinkers.
