Elizabeth S Goodstein Book order

Integrating intellectual biography, philosophical interpretation, and a critical examination of the history of academic disciplines, this book restores philosopher Georg Simmel to his rightful place as a major figure and challenges the frameworks through which his contributions to modern thought have been at once remembered and forgotten

Tracing the emergence and evolution of the modern discourse on boredom in French and German literary, philosophical, and sociological texts, this book fills a gap in the intellectual and cultural history of European modernity.
