Whilst Simmel's work was crucial in laying foundations for sociology, his several books, including \u003ci\u003eThe Philosophy of Money\u003c\/i\u003e, were deeply philosophical. Simmel's doctorate was on Kant's philosophy and that his intellectual outlook was greatly influenced by his lifelong love of philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is this philosophical Simmel that Frederick C. Beiser, a renowned scholar of German philosophy, explores in this fascinating and important book. Beginning with a helpful overview of Simmel's early intellectual life, Beiser considers the formation of Simmel's sociology and his views on ethics, before examining his theories of historical knowledge; the arguments contained in his most important work, \u003ci\u003eThe Philosophy of Money\u003c\/i\u003e; the role of Kant's philosophy in his thinking; his critique of pessimism and his philosophy of religion. The second part of the book explores the deeper philosophical importance of Simmel's work, by considering his theories of the method and essence of philosophy, the philosophy of life and his important work on aesthetics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn outstanding and pathbreaking book, \u003ci\u003eThe Philosophy of Georg Simmel \u003c\/i\u003ewill be of interest to students and researchers in philosophy and sociology alike, particularly those studying 19th-century philosophy and the history of sociology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrederick C.
