Basic Concepts In Sociology is one of the central texts in the field of sociology, and if anyone can be called the godfather of the subject, it is Weber. As relevant today as it was in its first publication in the 1930s, this is essential reading for students and teachers.

From the Publisher
[Weber] can be regarded as the actual creator (along with Ernst Troeltsch and Werner Sombart) of the discipline of the Sociology of Religion and remains to this day the most stimulating explorer of this area of social life. Talcott Parson's introductory essay is probably one of his best statementts on Max Weber....In brief, here is a book of permanent value for all scholarly libraries.
About the Author
Max Weber, a German political economist, legal historian, and sociologist, had an impact on the social sciences that is difficult to overestimate. According to a widely held view, he was the founder of the modern way of conceptualizing society and thus the modern social sciences. His major interest was the process of rationalization, which characterizes Western civilization—what he called the "demystification of the world." This interest led him to examine the three types of domination or authority that characterize hierarchical relationships: charismatic, traditional, and legal. It also led him to the study of bureaucracy; all of the world's major religions; and capitalism, which he viewed as a productof the Protestant ethic. With his contemporary, the French sociologist Emile Durkheim—they seem not to have known each other's work—he created modern sociology.
