Description
Max Weber, Rationality and Modernity brings together leading scholars from various disciplines to interpret and update Weber's legacy. This collection of specially commissioned pieces and translated articles provides a comprehensive account of Weber's ideas on rationality, modernity, and their relevance in contemporary debates. The book is divided into four parts, each addressing a different aspect of Weber's thought. The contributors examine his social action model, the crisis of Western rationality, and the implications of modernity for individuality, personality, and culture. They also explore the relationship between rationality, politics, law, and the state in the contemporary world. Through this collection, readers can gain a deeper understanding of Weber's ideas and their continued relevance in today's society.
