More Than Life : Georg Simmel and Walter Benjamin on Art

Traces the philosophical relation between Georg Simmel and his one-time student Walter Benjamin, two of the most influential German thinkers of the twentieth century. Reading Simmel's work alongside Benjamin's concept of Unscheinbarkeit, More Than Life demonstrates that both Simmel and Benjamin conceive of art as the creation of something entirely new.
