Resumo

This paper aims to collecting texts in which Habermas quotes Georg Simmel (1858-1918), a very creative and popular author, although rejected by German academic institutions. Besides having written two rare and apparently not related titles - a Philosophy of Love and a Philosophy of money-, he has founded a new discipline, the Philosophy of Culture, which influenced Adorno and Horkheimer in their thesis concerning mass culture. Habermas joined in a radio conference a large group of Jew philosophers among German intellectuals up to the post World War II period; this helps us to understand how such prejudices against Simmel, specially his racial origin, had inhibited his career and the reception of his works.
