«Michel-Ange et Rodin» is Georg Simmel's essay on sculpture, published by Rivages in paperback (105 pages, in French).
Written in 1911, the essay links Michelangelo and Rodin and, beyond comparative study, probes the essence of sculpture: the singularity Michelangelo took to its limit and the movement Rodin knew how to capture and carve in matter.
In this French edition, the text appears translated from German and introduced by Sabine Cornille and Philippe Ivernel, in the Rivages poche / Petite Bibliothèque collection. It was published in 1996.
For readers of philosophy and art history, especially those interested in the theory of sculpture and in the figures of Michelangelo and Rodin.
Georg Simmel was a German sociologist, philosopher, and critic. A founding figure of sociology, his neo-Kantian approach helped establish sociological antipositivism, asking "What is society?" in analogy to Kant's "What is nature?". He pioneered analyses of individuality and social fragmentation.
