French poet and novelist Remy de Gourmont was born in the Normandy town of Bazoches-en-Houlme in 1858. His father came from a long line of printers and engravers, and his mother was descended from the 16th-century French poet François de Malherbe. He received his education at the University of Caen, and in 1883 got a job in Paris at the National Library.
He became a follower of the "Symbolist" movement in French poetry, and was strongly influenced by Stephane Mallarme. He began to move in literary circles, and eventually he and J.K. Huymans met, and they co-founded and became co-editors of "Mercure de France". Unfortunately, an article he wrote for the magazine in 1891 caught the attention of French nationalists who considered it "pro-German", and the resulting furor caused the publication to fire him. A further series of personal and professional setbacks resulted in his becoming almost a "hermit", venturing out into the "outside world" only occasionally, and then just briefly.
The outbreak of World War I in 1914 turned him from a moderate leftist into a firebrand--and at times violent--anti-German nationalist. Shortly after the war started he suffered a cerebral hemorrhage, and died in 1915.- Vilhelm Wiehe was born on 10 February 1858 in Kristiania [now Oslo], Norway.

- Georg Simmel (1 March 1858 - 28 September 1918) was a German sociologist, philosopher, and critic.
Simmel was one of the first generation of German sociologists: his neo-Kantian approach laid the foundations for sociological antipositivism, asking 'What is society?' in a direct allusion to Kant's question 'What is nature?', presenting pioneering analyses of social individuality and fragmentation. For Simmel, culture referred to "the cultivation of individuals through the agency of external forms which have been objectified in the course of history". Simmel discussed social and cultural phenomena in terms of "forms" and "contents" with a transient relationship; form becoming content, and vice versa, dependent on the context. In this sense he was a forerunner to structuralist styles of reasoning in the social sciences. With his work on the metropolis, Simmel was a precursor of urban sociology, symbolic interactionism and social network analysis.
An acquaintance of Max Weber, Simmel wrote on the topic of personal character in a manner reminiscent of the sociological 'ideal type'. He broadly rejected academic standards, however, philosophically covering topics such as emotion and romantic love. Both Simmel and Weber's nonpositivist theory would inform the eclectic critical theory of the Frankfurt School.
Simmel's most famous works today are The Problems of the Philosophy of History (1892), The Philosophy of Money (1907), The Metropolis and Mental Life (1903), Soziologie (1908, inc. The Stranger, The Social Boundary, The Sociology of the Senses, The Sociology of Space, and On The Spatial Projections of Social Forms), and Fundamental Questions of Sociology (1917). He also wrote extensively on the philosophy of Schopenhauer and Nietzsche, as well on art, most notably his book Rembrandt: An Essay in the Philosophy of Art (1916). - Writer
