Revealing the extent to which scholars are seeking to understand both current and historical issues through the sociology of Max Weber, this book reaffirms and extends the enduring relevance of Weber's thought to contemporary cultural and political questions.Through a thematic structure designed to expose a variety of ways in which Weber's work matters with reference to a given subject, it comprises methodological reflection on Weber's historical sociology, as well as the application and testing of his ideal types in historical enquiry, often to areas that have not yet been approached in this way.With its focus on both the practical application of Weber's thought as well as his philosophical legacy, Max Weber Matters will be of interest to scholars across a range of disciplines, including historians, sociologists, political scientists and social theorists.
Industry Reviews
'The centrality of Weber for contemporary sociologists in a myriad of areas...The editors have brought together not only senior specialists but also a group of new scholars whose vigorous application to contemporary issues testifies why indeed Weber matters? in interweaving past and present?.' Edward A. Tiryakian, Duke University, USA 'This diverse set of stimulating essays covering major themes in sociology - rationality, legitimacy, cultures of capitalism and historical consciousness - demonstrates over again the continuing importance of Max Weber to the modern world. Weber matters substantively because he provides a critical perspective on modernity. Erudite and original but also accessible, Max Weber Matters is a major contribution to Weber studies.' Bryan S. Turner, Wellesley College, USA '... the book does indeed point to various ways in which 'Weber matters' continue to matter to specialists...' British Journal of Sociology
