Tragedy of Culture – Georg Simmel (1) [Related Post]
Culture makes us happy. Civilization makes our lives worthy and valuable. At least, a creator aims to create more joy for life all the time.
However, Georg Simmel (1858–1918) points out the tension between “objective culture” and “subjective culture” in modern society.
The vast accumulation of products, technology, and knowledge produced by society grows too large and too complex, and overwhelms the ability of individuals to internalize and utilize these developments for our own self-development.
