Abstract

The influence of Georg Simmel on American sociology has been repeatedly pointed out. Robert E. Park and the Chicago School of Sociology in particular owe important impulses to Simmel. It is sometimes overlooked, however, that Simmel himself drew on imported knowledge in his famous essay ‘Die Großstädte und das Geistesleben’ when focusing on the nervousness of the city dweller. This article will therefore tell the brief story of a reciprocal transatlantic knowledge transfer between Berlin and Chicago. It looks at the mutual fascinations and influences, examining both the Americanisation of knowledge and the Europeanisation of experience.

思想的进出口：乔治·西梅尔在芝加哥，乔治·比尔德在柏林

格奥尔格·西梅尔对美国社会学的影响已被反复指出。罗伯特·E·帕克和芝加哥社会学学院尤其将重要的推动力归功于西梅尔。然而，有时人们会忽略的是，西梅尔本人在他的著名文章《Die Großstädte und das Geistesleben》中，在关注城市居民的紧张情绪时，借鉴了外来知识。因此，本文将讲述柏林和芝加哥之间跨大西洋知识交流的简短故事。它着眼于相互的魅力和影响，考察了知识的美国化和经验的欧洲化。

The aim of the Journal of Classical Sociology is to demonstrate scholarly excellence in the study of the sociological tradition.
