Form and Dialectic in Georg Simmel's Sociology 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
