Max Weber at 100

Legacies and Prospects

Herausgeber: Derman, Joshua; Gordon, Peter E

Beschreibung

This volume presents a collection of essays on the enduring legacy and relevance of Max Weber, German sociologist, scholar of world religions, economic historian, social philosopher, and theoretician of modern political life. Published a century after his death, this volume brings together original essays by distinguished historians, philosophers, and social theorists to take stock of his significance in the early decades of the twenty-first century. It offers illuminating perspectives for both the novice and the expert, addressing the broader, more theoretical dimensions of his legacy that remain of central relevance to a wide range of disciplines.
