Durkheim's allegation of 'individual psychologism' induced Simmel to a veiled reception of Durkheim's methodological approach that permitted him to refine the sociological epistemology he eventually presented in the Soziologie published in 1908.

From a sociological perspective, increased urbanisation implies a state of increased individual freedom, while at once it provokes growing social fragmentation. The chapter focuses on these dialectics and analyses to which degree social fragmentation affects the formal institutionalisation of citizenship rights and the substantial access to formally established rights, while at the same time excluding the most disadvantaged social groups, reducing them to mere 'denizens' of urban societies.}, language = {de} } @article{Fitzi2020, author = {Fitzi, Gregor}, title = {Introduction}, publisher = {Routledge}, address = {London}, isbn = {978-0-429-26230-2}, pages = {1 -- 11}, year = {2020}, abstract = {This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book.

It investigates the modes of doing citizenship and social rights in practice, which characterised the creation of Berlin's Medib{\"u}ro, a network of medical offices, where medical activists provide free medical services to residents lacking access to the medical insurance system, especially to illegal migrants.

The first two pages of his 1919 lecture particularly show that Weber can fall back on the definitions of State and politics that he had already developed for his political sociology. Yet, to appreciate the full extent of this theoretical contribution, it is necessary to present Weber's entire ideal-typical analysis of the political. The article then shows that Weber provides an unlabelled definition of 'modern politics' that negates ante litteram Carl Schmitt's foundation of politics on the idea of enmity. In this context, Weber's sound plea for parliamentarism and against the fascination of civil war comes to the fore that he wanted to deliver to his audience of young revolutionaries in January 1919.}, language = {en} } @article{FitziMele2017, author = {Fitzi, Gregor and Mele, Vincenzo}, title = {The corrosion of character}, series = {Journal of Classical Sociology}, volume = {17}, journal = {Journal of Classical Sociology}, number = {2}, publisher = {Sage Publ.}, address = {London}, issn = {1468-795X}, doi = {10.1177/1468795X17693436}, pages = {143 -- 155}, year = {2017}, abstract = {The topic of this imaginary dialogue between Georg Simmel and Max Weber is the relation between work - in the sense of labour - and personality.

The concept of work still represents one of the major factors determining modern individuals' ability (or inability) to formulate personal, stable identities that enable them to become fully socialized. Both Simmel and Weber make reference to a common theoretical background that views the human being as a creature with originally rational potential, who is faced with the task of becoming a personality by means of consciously chosen life behaviour: This is evident in the parallelism between Simmel's interest in the concept of 'style of life' (Der Stil des Lebens) and Weber's research on the 'life conduct' (Lebensf{\"u}hrung) that arose in Western rationalistic culture.}, language = {en} } @misc{FitziTurner2019, author = {Fitzi, Gregor and Turner, Bryan S.}, title = {Introduction: From politics as a vocation to politics as a profession}, series = {Journal of Classical Sociology}, volume = {19}, journal = {Journal of Classical Sociology}, number = {4}, publisher = {Sage Publ.}, address = {London}, issn = {1468-795X}, doi = {10.1177/1468795X19851341}, pages = {311 -- 315}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @incollection{Fitzi2019, author = {Fitzi, Gregor}, title = {Introduction}, series = {Populism and the crisis of democracy.
