Condition: Gut. 307 S.; 22,5 cm; kart. Gutes Ex.; Einband stw. gering berieben. - Englisch. - Max Weber was one of the most influential and creative intellectual forces of the twentieth century. In his methodology of the social sciences, he both exposed the flaws and solidified the foundations of the German historical tradition. Throughout his life, he saw bureaucracy as a serious obstacle to cultural vitality but an inescapable part of organizational rationality. In his famous essay on the Protestant ethic, he uncovered the psychological underpinnings of capitalism and modern occupational life. This searching work offers the first comprehensive introduction to Weber's thought for students and newcomers. Fritz Ringer locates Weber in his historical context, relating his ideas to the controversies and politics of his day. Ringer also considers the importance of Weber to contemporary life, discussing his insights into the limits of scholarly research and the future of Western capitalist societies. Weber, Ringer reminds us, believed in democracy, liberalism, and fundamental human rights; his ethic of responsibility remains as vital to our historical moment as it was to his own. .

Condition: Sehr gut. VIII; 188 Seiten; 23,5 cm. Sehr gutes Exemplar. - Englisch. - . "Ringer locates the weighty methodological, epistemological, and intellectual issues raised in Weber's philosophy of social science more fully in the context of German academic life in the Wilhelmian era than any previous work in English. Beyond this, he casts enormous light on the issues themselves, drawing comprehensively and critically on hermeneutic sociology, the analytic philosophy of action, the debate over explanation in history, and even legal theory. This is a brief but invaluable book for scholars in both the social sciences and the humanities." - Dennis H. Wong, NY University .
