A work by the German sociologist and philosopher
What the Work Is
Goe appears to be a truncated title of Georg Simmel’s book Goethe, first published in 1913. Simmel (1858–1918) was a German philosopher and sociologist. Catalog metadata records a 2012 edition, not the first publication. Simmel was a founder of “formal sociology,” a sociology of the city, and the sociology of conflict, and he worked in the traditions of the philosophy of life and of Neo-Kantianism.
