内容説明

This book has established itself as a standard short introduction in German to the work of Max Weber, and appears here for the first time in English translation. The author has a profound knowledge of Weber's writings, yet manages to make Weber's ideas accessible to the beginner. The book offers a comprehensive account of Weber's views, giving attention both to the context in which Weber produced his most significant contributions to social science, and to the changes involved in his work over the course of his career. The author also offers an introduction to the controversies which Weber's writings have stimulated, from the time of their first appearance to the present day. The work is aimed at undergraduates studying Weber works, and research students interested in the bibliographical details of Weber's works and the origins of early German sociology.
