Rethinking Simmel on Culture, Modernity, and Alienation

The International Workshop Rethinking Simmel on Culture, Modernity, and Alienation (6th and 7th June, 2022, Vienna – Buenos Aires) aims to revisit some of the core problems of Georg Simmel’s thought from hitherto underexplored perspectives. It inquires into aspects of legacy and timeliness, examines Simmel’s relationship to critical theory, and puts to the test the philosopher’s continued potential to tackle today’s pressing questions.
