Georg Simmel (1858 - 1918), war Philosoph und Soziologe. Sein Essay über die "Großstädte und das Geistesleben" war bahnbrechend - weil es eingänglich schildert, wie die Großstadt auf das Individuum wirkt. Ein faszinierendes, zeitloses Werk.

In "Zur Psychologie des Geldes" untersucht Georg Simmel die vielschichtige Rolle des Geldes im sozialen und individuellen Leben. Das Werk gehört zu den einflussreichsten Schriften der frühen Soziologie und entfaltet auf brillante Weise, wie Geld soziale Beziehungen, Werte und Identität prägt. Mit philosophischer Tiefe und soziologischer Schärfe analysiert Simmel, wie Geld als abstraktes Tauschmittel Denk- und Handlungsmuster formt, Freiheit und Abhängigkeit zugleich schafft und den modernen Menschen in seiner Existenz beeinflusst.

Georg Simmel (1858–1918), Philosoph und Soziologe, war einer der bedeutendsten Kulturtheoretiker seiner Zeit. Sein Essay Die Großstädte und das Geistesleben gilt als bahnbrechend – denn er beschreibt eindrücklich, wie das urbane Leben auf das Individuum wirkt: Reizüberflutung, soziale Distanz, die Entwicklung von Individualität und intellektueller Abstraktion. Ein faszinierendes, zeitloses Werk der Soziologie, das bis heute aktuelle Fragen über das Leben in der Moderne stellt – psychologisch präzise, klar argumentiert und überraschend zugänglich.

Capitalism has blessed the world with wealth and technological miracles. It has also cursed it with urban slums, powerless workers, and the vicious boom-and-bust economy. If only there were some way to fix the problems of capitalism and keep all its benefits. In 1897, Henry George published his solution to this puzzle, Progress and Poverty. He suggested that, unlike all other taxes, a tax on land doesn't discourage entrepreneurship. A single tax on land can raise the revenues we need to help the poor without destroying the incentive to create wealth.

Il n'est pas anodin que les grandes figures sociologiques du XXe siècle, Durkheim, Mauss, Lévi-Strauss ou Bourdieu, aient été formées initialement à la philosophie. D'abord timidement, puis farouchement, la sociologie, ou encore l'anthropologie et l'ethnographie, prennent au cours du siècle leur indépendance face à la paternité philosophique pour créer la nouvelle dénomination des sciences sociales.

Critical theory emerged in the 1920s from the work of the Frankfurt School, the circle of German-Jewish academics who sought to diagnose—and, if at all possible, cure—the ills of society, particularly fascism and capitalism. In this book, Stephen Eric Bronner provides sketches of leading representatives of the critical tradition (such as George Lukács and Ernst Bloch, Theodor Adorno and Walter Benjamin, Herbert Marcuse and Jurgen Habermas) as well as many of its seminal texts and empirical investigations.

A collection of Jackson's letters from prison, Soledad Brother is an outspoken condemnation of the racism of white America and a powerful appraisal of the prison system that failed to break his spirit but eventually took his life. Jackson's letters make palpable the intense feelings of anger and rebellion that filled Black men in America's prisons in the 1960s. But even removed from the social and political firestorms of the 1960s, Jackson's story still resonates for its portrait of a man taking a stand even while locked down.
