Description

Max Weber: A Life of Ideas and Experience. This biography offers a comprehensive understanding of Max Weber's life and thought, shedding new light on his influential ideas about capitalism, Protestantism, charisma, and the modern world. For nearly 80 years, our knowledge of Weber's life was limited to his widow's 1926 biography, which has been supplemented by Joachim Radkau's groundbreaking research. Based on an abundance of previously unknown sources, Radkau's biography reveals the intimate connections between Weber's intellectual pursuits and his personal experiences. The result is a fully comprehensive portrait of one of the most important thinkers in the social sciences, whose ideas continue to shape our understanding of the world today. With its richly embedded context in German history, this biography provides a nuanced and detailed exploration of Max Weber's life and legacy.
