Georg Simmel and the tragedy of culture in the age of technology
Keywords:
Culture, Technique, SubjectivityAbstract
Georg Simmel is among the first Western critics to think about the future of culture in the age of technology. From the current judgments of his time (1900), the thinker did not see in this process a higher stage of the march of progress, relating it earlier to the crisis of culture to which Nietzsche had warned us.Downloads
