File containing essays by / related to the German sociologist Georg Simmel (1858 –1918),like one of his most widely read worksThe Metropolis and Mental Life (Die Großstädte und das Geistesleben) from 1903. In this essay Simmel compared the psychology of the individual in rural life with the psychology of the city dweller. His investigation determines that the human psychology is altered by the metropolis. The individual must contend with such change in a metropolitan environment that the psychology of such an individual erects defences to protect itself from the stimuli of the metropolis. The file also contains: Verlangen naar de stad: een kleine geschiedenis van sekse en moderniteit by Judith Vega, De sociologie van de grootstad door Georg Simmel en Op wandel in de grootstad : een schets van de moderne samenleving in simmeliaans perspectief door Tom Claes.
