      abstract = {This textbook examines interaction, reciprocity, dualism,  conflict, and personality in the work of Georg Simmel.  These themes, which made Simmel the founder of relational  sociology, are presented uniquely in the light of intimate  relations. According to Simmel, intimate relations rather  than the individual constitute the fundamental stratum of  human culture. By relating objective social facts to  subjective experience, Simmel also opened up a new way of  understanding human life in the early 20th century. Using  Simmel's theory of reciprocity, this book follows an  innovative method of interpretation, providing a  quantitative perspective of lived experience. This book  analyzes Simmel's ideas from the viewpoint of modern  hermeneutical philosophy and sociology. Fellmann expertly  presents the historical context of Simmel's concepts, and  their influence on other sociologists and philosophers,  especially in Germany. Written in an engaging style, this  book is suitable as a core text in undergraduate and  graduate courses on sociological theory and continental  philosophy. Additionally, given the new focus on Simmel and  intimate relations, the book is of interest to scholars of  relational sociology, history of sociology, continental  philosophy, history of philosophy, philosophy of culture,  and philosophical anthropology.--},
