Arthur Mitzman is professor of modern European history at the University of Amsterdam in Holland. He has taught at Brooklyn College, Goddard College, the University of Rochester, and Simon Fraser University, and is the author of The Iron Cage: An Historical Interpretation of Max Weber.
“Mitzman’s book must take its place among the four or five best works in psycho-history that we now have. It is a powerful instance of how intellectual history can be deepened and made animate with real life.”
—Bruce Mazlish, History and Theory
“Professor Mitzman has written a psychoanalytically organized study of max Weber, linking Weber’s personal anxieties to the development of aspects of his work and placing him in the context of a bourgeois generation faced with particularly severe psychic conflicts.”
—Fred Weinstein, The American Historical Review
“The Iron Cage is a psychoanalytic interpretation of Max Weber’s life and work. The title of the book refers to Weber’s statement in The Protestant Ethic that modern man’s life is determined by the iron cage of institutionalized asceticism. Mitzman accepts this proposition and analyzes Weber’s conscious and unconscious reaction to the encagement, tracing his quest for liberation.... The Iron Cage is a contribution to our knowledge of Max Weber and the history of his ideas. Mitzman has combined a chronological interpretation of Weber’s personal life and scholarly activity with a report of Weber’s attitudes about German politics.”
—Pat N. Lackey, American Sociological Review
