This comprehensive book showcases the invaluable contributions of scholars from across Europe in exploring the rich potential of Georg Simmel's categories to address contemporary issues and shed light on the defining trends of global modernity. Thematically organized around the pressing societal challenges faced by developed countries, namely the creation of inclusive, reflexive, creative, sustainable, and democratic societies, this volume delves into a diverse range of phenomena. From the complexities of living in increasingly multicultural societies to the plight of vulnerable ethnic groups facing social exclusion, from the growing concerns surrounding cyberbullying to the urgent need to combat climate change, from the rise of political populism to the recruitment of youths from Western countries to Islamic religious fundamentalism, this book offers a comprehensive examination of these pressing concerns.
Drawing upon the profound sociological theory of Georg Simmel and inspired by his innovative approaches to research, this volume emphasizes the conceptual pillars of Simmelian thought: meanings, processes, and forms. It serves as a valuable resource for scholars of sociology and social theory who are interested in delving into the work of Simmel and its profound contemporary relevance. By unraveling the timeless insights and analytical frameworks provided by Simmel, this book provides a valuable contribution to our understanding of the complex social dynamics shaping our world today.
