Georg Simmel
wikipedia
Simmel was born in Berlin, Germany, as the youngest of seven children. His father founded a successful chocolate factory and died in 1874, leaving a sizableinheritance.[5] Julius Friedländer, the founder of an international music publishing house then adopted Georg and endowed him with a large fortune enabling him to become a scholar.[6] His religious background wascomplicated but germane to his marginal status in German academia. He was born to a prosperous Jewish business family, but his father became a Roman Catholic. His mother's family was originally Jewish,but she was a Lutheran. Georg Simmel, himself, was baptized as aProtestant when he was a child.[7] In 1890 he married Gertrud Kinel. A philosopher in her own right, she published under the name GertrudSimmel and under thepseudonym Marie-Luise Enckendorf. They lived a sheltered and bourgeois life, their home becoming a venue for cultivated gatherings in the tradition of the salon. They had one son,Hans Eugen.
Simmel studied philosophy and history at the University of Berlin. In 1881 he received his doctorate for his thesis on Kant's philosophy of matter, a part of which was subsequentlypublished as "The Nature of Matter According to Kant's Physical Monadology". He became a Privatdozent at the University of Berlin in 1885, officially lecturing in philosophy but alsoin ethics, logic, pessimism, art, psychology and sociology. His lectures were not only popular inside the university, but attracted the intellectual elite of Berlin as well. Although his applications for vacant chairs atGerman universities were supported by Max Weber, Simmel remained an academic outsider. Only in 1901 was he elevated to the rank of extraordinary professor (full professor but without a chair; see theGerman section at Professor). At that time he was well-known throughout Europe and America and was seen as a man of great eminence. He was well known for his many articles that appeared in magazines...
