Resumen
Desde su primer libro sociológico, Sobre la diferenciación social de 1890, hasta su libro póstumo de 1918, Intuición de la vida. Cuatro capítulos de metafísica, Georg Simmel se explaya acerca de la noción de libertad. La cuestión es recurrente también entre sus obras principales. Sin embargo, a lo largo de su producción, el autor desarrolla diferentes acepciones y dimensiones del concepto de libertad, en relación a las tendencias a la diferenciación e individualización propias de las sociedades modernas en las que el principal símbolo está dado por el dinero. El presente artículo reconstruye y analiza tales diferentes significados de la libertad, con especial atención a sus usos sociológicos. Finalmente, se sugiere considerar al concepto de libertad como cuestión central e hilo conductor de la totalidad de la obra del autor berlinés.
From his first sociological book, On social differentiation of 1890, to his posthumous book of 1918, The view of life. Four metaphysical essays, George Simmel speaks at length about the notion of freedom. This topic is recurring also in his main works. However, throughout his production, the author develops different meanings and dimensions of the concept of freedom, in relation to the trends toward differentiation and individualization characteristic of modern societies, in which the main symbol is money. This article reconstructs and analyzed such different meanings of freedom, with special emphasis in its sociological usages. Finally, a suggestion is made to consider the concept of freedom as the main topic and guiding thread of the totality of Simmel's work.
