# Georg Simmel (@georg-simmel)

Georg Simmel was a German philosopher and sociologist whose essays examined how recurring forms of interaction produce social life. Rather than treating society only as a large structure, he analyzed relations such as exchange, conflict, sociability, secrecy, and group membership.

His work on money, metropolitan experience, and individuality became especially influential in theories of modernity and urban life. It also anticipated later attention to social networks and relational patterns.
