Kamp!
Slentrianmässigt är vi benägna att säga att konflikten innebär söndring . . . Simmels stora upptäkt . . . är nu den, att (åtminstone vissa) konflikten betyder precis motsatsen till det ovanstående. Om jag förstått honom rätt, så menar Simmel att konflikter kan förena två parter snarare än att skilja dem åt. En konflikt kan öka förståelsen mellan två parter snarare än att minska den... Frånvaron av motsättningar, meningsskiljaktigheter, aggressioner kan istället vara sociala sjukdomstecken. Ett samhälle, vari det inte tycks råda några inre konflikter, kan befinna sig i ett upplösningstillstånd . . . (Docent Johan Asplund i "Om undran inför samhället". Argos 1970) Om dessa och liknande problem handlar KAMP av en av sociologiens klassiker. Nu för första gången på svenska.
Hur Är Samhället Möjligt? - Och Andra Essäer
Georg Simmel (1858?1918) räknas till de stora samhällsvetenskapliga klassikerna vid sidan om Durkheim, Marx och Weber. Kanske är han dock numera den modernaste av dem alla. Han representerar mjukdata- och förståelsesociologin, han är en interaktionist och helhetsteoretiker, som betonar och undersöker de inre motsättningarna i det till synes enhetliga.Hans ämnen är i hög grad aktuella: ensamhet, tvåsamhet och mångsamhet; staden och storstadsmänniskan; pengarna och utbytet; det hemliga och kärleken.Erik af Edholm har gjort urvalet, översatt och skrivit en omfattande inledning till denna breda presentation av Simmels texter på svenska."Erik af Edholm har begåvat oss med ett utmärkt urval, en omsorgsfull översättning och inte minst en inledning som bringar reda både i Simmels centrala tankegångar och i den kaotiska sjudande miljö som det sena tyska 1800-talets universitetsvärld utgör." (Sven-Eric Liedman)
