Bringing together the author’s major scholarly work on Weber over the last 30 years, offering a rich examination of the major themes in his sociology alongside a reconstruction of his mode of analysis and application of his approach, this book will appeal to scholars around the world with interests in social theory, German and American societies, cultural sociology, political sociology, the sociology of knowledge, comparative-historical sociology and the sociology of civilizations.
“Stephen Kalberg has long been a penetrating and original interpreter of Weber’s work. His publications stand out in the large Weber literature by focusing on Weber’s modes of analysis that remain fruitful today, a century later. Putting that claim of continuing relevance to multiple
tests, this is a significant publication.”
—Dietrich Rueschemeyer, Brown University
