Abstract

An old black-covered notebook, preserved in the Lukács Archive in Budapest, contains a transcription of eleven lectures on logic held by Georg Simmel at the University of Berlin in November, 1906 and January, 1907. Simmel-scholars may find interest in but will hardly be surprised by his treatment of logic. Although he published little on the subject, his line of argument is certainly familiar.¹
