Superiority and Subordination as Subject-Matter of Sociology

Georg Simmel

Beschreibung

In "Superiority and Subordination as Subject-Matter of Sociology," Georg Simmel presents a profound exploration of social hierarchies and the intricate dynamics of power within human relationships. Simmel employs a distinctive literary style that integrates philosophical inquiry with sociological analysis, meticulously dissecting the interplay of superiority and subordination as a core aspect of social life. This work is situated within the broader context of early 20th-century sociology, where thinkers began to examine societal structures beyond mere economic determinism, thus positioning Simmel as a pioneer in the field of social interaction and individual agency. Georg Simmel, a prominent German sociologist, philosopher, and cultural critic, was deeply influenced by the rapid social changes of his time, including modernity, urbanization, and industrialization. His diverse scholarly background encompassed philosophy and art, which shaped his unique perspective on society and individual experiences. Simmel's work often reflects his engagement with existentialism and aesthetics, making "Superiority and Subordination" a crucial text to understand the nuanced social constructs of power and identity. This book is highly recommended for students and scholars of sociology, as well as anyone interested in the complexities of social dynamics and power relations. Simmel's incisive analysis invites readers to reflect on the ubiquitous nature of superiority and subordination, fostering a deeper understanding of the implications these concepts have on contemporary societal interactions.

Confident Pluralism - Surviving...

John D. Inazu

The United States seems to become more dramatically polarized and divided with each passing month. There are seemingly irresolvable differences in the beliefs, values, and identities of citizens across the country that too often play out in our legal system in clashes on a range of topics such as the tensions between law enforcement and minority communities. How can we possibly argue for civic aspirations like tolerance, humility, and patience in our current moment? 
 
In Confident Pluralism, John D. Inazu analyzes the current state of the country, orients the contemporary United States within its broader history, and explores the ways that Americans can—and must—strive to live together peaceably despite our deeply engrained differences. Pluralism is one of the founding creeds of the United States—yet America’s society and legal system continues to face deep, unsolved structural problems in dealing with differing cultural anxieties and differing viewpoints. Inazu not only argues that it is possible to cohabitate peacefully in this country, but also lays out realistic guidelines for our society and legal system to achieve the new American dream through civic practices that value toleration over protest, humility over defensiveness, and persuasion over coercion. 
 
This new edition of Confident Pluralism is an essential clarion call during one of the most troubled times in US history. Inazu argues for institutions that can work to bring people together as well as political institutions that will defend the unprotected. Confident Pluralism offers a refreshing argument for how the legal system can protect peoples’ personal beliefs and differences and provides a path forward to a healthier future of tolerance, humility, and patience.
