In this piece, Simmel argues that the concept of ‘the boundary’ is important in the majority of relations between individuals and between individuals and groups. He goes on to claim that the concept of ‘the border’ is related to the whole structure of social life, but that social borders will be drawn differently depending on the social context and activity in question. However, Simmel points out that another key sociological problem lies in the diverse ways that individuals take part in collective structures, and argues that that there is a difference within a collective between a full member and a half- or quartermember which signifies a boundary between the latter and the whole to which he or she belongs.
