Simmel on Sexuality

Více o knize

The essay explores Georg Simmel's sociological framework, particularly focusing on the concept of sexuality, which he largely omitted from his works. It aims to define sexuality as a reciprocal interaction characterized by love and lust, using Simmel's categories of social form and content. The analysis then contrasts two extreme examples—pornography and celibacy—to evaluate the implications of Simmel's theories on human interaction. Through this examination, the essay seeks to uncover the inherent aspects of sexuality within Simmel's sociological perspective.
