It examines how his relational mode of thought transforms the landscape of sociological problems to subvert conventional conceptions of Simmel's oeuvre as well as of sociology's history. It not only rediscovers key dimensions of Simmel's thought, but also explores its gradual and uneven re-emergence within subsequent scholarship. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is an engaging and lucid, intellectually illuminating and thoroughly accessible overview of the thought of one of sociology's key thinkers that will be essential reading for both scholars and students of sociology and social theory.\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Simmelian Legacy \u003c\/i\u003eis a comprehensive study of the work of sociologist and philosopher Georg Simmel (1858-1918) and its reception in the Anglophone, German, and French intellectual worlds. By returning to Simmel and rediscovering his legacy, the book gives voice to a corpus of vast significance and great potential that nevertheless has lived too much in the shadows. Author Olli Pyyhtinen argues that Simmel's most significant contribution to sociology consists above all of his relational mode of thought. By examining how that thought transforms the landscape of sociological problems, \u003ci\u003eThe Simmelian Legacy\u003c\/i\u003e subverts conventional conceptions of both Simmel's oeuvre and sociology's history. The book not only rediscovers key dimensions of Simmel's thought and neglected lines of flight, but also explores its gradual and uneven re-emergence within subsequent scholarship. \u003ci\u003eThe Simmelian Legacy \u003c\/i\u003ewill appeal to both students and scholars of varying degrees of familiarity with Simmel, and the reader will take away an abundance of insights and provocative ideas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOlli Pyyhtinen is Associate Professor at the New Social Research programme at the University of Tampere, Finland.
