Abstract
George Simmel is a philosopher and sociologist whose views on lifestyle and some aspects of it have had significant impacts on his later thinkers. In his works, he has repeatedly used the words 'lifestyle', 'having style', 'style making' and 'lifestyle objectivity', and has also analyzed some types of lifestyle. The kind of philosophical analysis of fashion as one of the important categories in lifestyle as well as the elements of unification and differentiation which, in his view, are the most important components of lifestyle, and money as a basic common component of unifying lifestyle, are unprecedented and novel.
In this article, Simmel's main works were gathered and analyzed through documentary method and text analysis, and judged in terms of his views on lifestyle.
