Summary

Georg Simmel: The Poor

Introduction to the Sociology of Poverty

Georg Simmel's text on poverty is interesting and useful in several ways. First of all, it sheds light on the problems of defining poverty and enables an understanding of how the category of the poor was created and the connection between the poor and society as a whole. Simmel's constructivist approach is rigorous and research fruitful: he breaks with all kinds of naturalistic or substantialist understandings that are still in vogue in current scientific and political debates, because they are still deeply rooted in spontaneous sociology. Although written at the beginning of the 20th century, this text sheds original theoretical light on the current debate on poverty and social exclusion. In this sense, it can be considered the starting point of the sociology of poverty. At the same time, this text opens the perspectives of sociohistorical theory on ways of organizing social relations. Simmel raises the issue of aid and analyzes it depending on the evolution of European societies. Therefore, this text does not reduce the sociology of poverty to a special area of sociology, but, on the contrary, refers to the fundamental issues of social relations and thus tries to single out theoretical claims of a general scope. Simmel always strives to contribute to the general theory of society through the analysis of various and seemingly marginal empirical topics.
