Beschreibung:	Beschreibung: Georg Simmel's Relativism Revisited Referent: Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Martin Kusch (Universität Wien) Georg Simmel's work on various forms of relativism is both one of the most original and one of the least-known contributions to early-twentieth-century German-language philosophy. In this paper, I shall offer a new interpretation of Simmel's relativism, focusing mainly on his opus magnum, Die Philosophie des Geldes of 1900. My interpretation has two parts corresponding to Simmel's two rather different projects vis-à-vis relativism: first, Simmel's defence of epistemic relativism in terms familiar from analytic philosophy; and second, Simmel's attempt to justify relativism genealogically by showing that it is the natural outcome of developments in the natural and social sciences, as well as in financial capitalism and the modes of thinking it encourages.
