Georges Simmel

Georg Simmel was a German sociologist and philosopher who studied how individuals interact within society. He focused on understanding social forms, such as how people influence each other's behavior in different settings—like in cities, groups, or relationships. Simmel explored ideas like how anonymity in urban life affects personality, the importance of personal interactions, and the role of cultural patterns. His work helps us understand that society is shaped by both individual actions and larger social structures, emphasizing the dynamic and complex ways people connect and influence one another.
