Georg Simmel (1858-1918) was born in Berlin, the youngest of seven children. He studied philosophy and history at the University of Berlin and was one of the first generation of great German sociologists that included Max Weber.

'Its greatness...lies in ceaseless and varied use of the money form to unearth and conceptually reveal incommensurabilities of all kinds, in social reality fully as much as in thought itself.' - Fredric Jameson

In The Philosophy of Money, Georg Simmel puts money on the couch. He provides us with a classic analysis of the social, psychological and philosophical aspects of the money economy, full of brilliant insights into the forms that social relationships take. He analyzes the relationships of money to exchange, human personality, the position of women, and individual freedom. Simmel also offers us prophetic insights into the consequences of the modern money economy and the division of labour, in particular the processes of alienation and reification in work and urban life.

An immense and profound piece of work it demands to be read today and for years to come as a stunning account of the meaning, use and culture of money.
只读了书的第五章The Money Equivalent of Personal Values,其中第400-416页与性别议题紧密相关,大致可分为三个部分: 第一部分( P400-P406)比较了了买卖婚姻(marriage by purchase)与嫁妆婚姻中妇女的价值的不同,认为原始的买卖婚姻与当时经济制度紧密相关,妇女在丈...
评分西美尔对资本主义社会只是作“印象式批评”。他号称要给历史唯物主义奠基,恰恰反而抽掉了历史唯物主义的根基。说到底,西美尔是一个生命哲学家,并以一个生命哲学家的身份来进行社会学研究。关注的不是社会本身,而是生命对社会的感受。这本书里面写的好的也正是这一方面。他...
评分今天,不会有人怀疑,用鸦片换商品是一种残忍的贸易战形式。 但是,今天,很少有人怀疑,用符号换商品是一种残忍的贸易战形式。 至少,中国的经济学家和中国的管理层就绝不怀疑。 当美国和日本再一次竞相推出量化宽松货币政策的时候,我们没有意识到这是在进行一场全新的贸易战...
评分今年是德国社会学家格奥尔格·西美尔(Georg Simmel)逝世100周年。西美尔,中文也将其译作“齐美尔”。在风起云涌的20世纪,他的知识遗产并未掀起大风浪,与马克思、韦伯和涂尔干相比在社会影响或学术声望上略显逊色。不过,他仍然是最经典的社会学家之一,所提出的“形式社会...

On money, how can you miss Georg Simmel?
评分Simmel的理论高度比不上黑格尔、马克思、韦伯,高度“印象派”的写作方式也让整本书显得相当松散,但其中的很多段落中却时不时迸发出美妙而独特的思想火花,也是很有意思。

评分大四毕业论文的时候读的,第一次读的时候觉得齐美尔太水了,整本书连一句对资本的讨论都没有,二刷才看出韵味。不太适合对当时的哲学背景没有一定了解的读者,和现在的社会学已经相差甚远,和齐美尔的其他一些散文一起看效果更加。
评分Catch Marx's labor theory of value initially but Simmel was more concerned about the consequence of money on personal value, freedom, purpose, style of life in which money became the end goal. Quite impressed by words on wergild, marriage, bribery, not much about the monetary policy and the state. Chris
