Free Download Stephen Kalberg, "Max Weber’s Sociology "
English | ISBN: 1032631805 | 2024 | 346 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
This volume outlines Max Weber’s comparative-historical sociology of "interpretive understanding" (verstehen) in a manner that clarifies his complex mode of analysis and multi-causal focus. Presenting the central features of his methodology, it demonstrates the strengths of his research strategies through discussions of his major works and overarching concerns. Among other themes, this study addresses the origins of the American political culture, the longevity of its civic sphere, and the multiple causes behind the unique historical pathways followed by several civilizations. Indeed, through summaries of Weber’s procedures and their application in his own empirical studies, Max Weber’s Sociology sustains a simultaneous orientation to his "big picture" themes and his rigorous manner of analysis. It demonstrates in so doing the capacity of Weber’s sociology to ground firmly both "ideal-type" theorizing and empirically oriented investigations. This volume will appeal to scholars throughout the social sciences with interests in the American civic sphere, the West’s uniqueness, "the Protestant ethic thesis," the multiple ways that civilizations develop, and the diverse twists and turns of Weber’s comparative-historical sociology.

Free Download Hans Henrik Bruun, Sam Whimster, "Max Weber: Collected Methodological Writings"
English | 2012 | pages: 566 | ISBN: 0415478987 | EPUB | 2,7 mb
Weber’s methodological writings form the bedrock of key ideas across the social sciences. His discussion of value freedom and value commitment, causality, understanding and explanation, theory building and ideal types have been of fundamental importance, and their impact remains undiminished today. These ideas influence the current research practice of sociologists, historians, economists and political scientists and are central to debates in the philosophy of social science. But, until now, Weber’s extensive writings on methodology have lacked a comprehensive publication.

Free Download Max Weber: A Comprehensive Bibliography By Alan Sica
2003 | 344 Pages | ISBN: 0765802090 | PDF | 2 MB
The most profound and enduring social theorist of sociology’s classical period, Max Weber speaks as cogently to concerns of the new century as he did to those of the past. In Max Weber and the New Century, Alan Sica demonstrated Weber’s preeminent position and lasting vitality within social theory by applying his ideas to a broad range of topics of contemporary concern. Max Weber: A Comprehensive Bibliography is a companion volume that offers some 4,600 bibliographic listings of work on Weber, making it the most complete guide to the literature in English and a testament to the continued vitality of Weber’s thought. Sica’s work supersedes all previous bibliographical efforts covering the Weber literature, both in the quantity and accuracy of its references, and the clarity and convenience of its format. In order to demonstrate the enormous variety of Weberiana in English, Sica has adopted a liberal criterion for inclusion, rather than a critical one, choosing to mix the best with what may be more routine work. Following a preface in which previous bibliographies and bibliographic problems are discussed, the volume opens with a series of five specialized bibliographies. The first lists Weber’s works in English translation. The second lists reviews of Weber’s major works including those translated into English, while the third covers reviews of recent books and other work on Weber. The fourth section contains a selection of dissertations and theses relating to Weber or his ideas. The fifth includes primary and secondary sources treating Weber on rationality and rationalization processes. The last and largest section offers a comprehensive Weber bibliography of works in English. This large-scale endeavor attempts to identify with accuracy and completeness the entire universe of Weber scholarship in English. It will be an essential scholarly tool for sociologists, historians, economists, and students of cultural and intellectual history.

Free Download Max Weber & Islam By Toby E. Huff, Wolfgang Schluchter
1999 | 332 Pages | ISBN: 1560004002 | PDF | 10 MB
Max Weber and Islam is a major effort by Islamic-studies specialists to reexamine and appraise Max Weber’s perspectives on Islam and its historical development. Eight specialists on Islam and two sociologists explore many dimensions of Weber’s comments on Islam, along with Weber’s conceptual framework. The volume’s introduction links the discussions to contemporary issues and debates.Wolfgang Schluchter reconstructs Weber’s conceptual apparatus as it applies to Islam and its historical development. In subsequent chapters, Islamic specialists consider such major topics as the developmental history of Islam, Islamic fundamentalism, Islamic reform, Islamic law and capitalism, secularization in Islam, as well as the value of attempting to apply Weber’s concept of sects to Islam. While some authors find flaws in Weber’s factual knowledge of Islam, they also find considerable merit in the kinds of questions Weber raised.Contributors to the volume include highly respected contemporary international scholars of Islam: Ira Lapidus, Nehemia Levtzion, Richard M. Eaton, Peter Hardy, Rudolph Peters, Barbara Metcalf, Francis Robinson, Patricia Crone, Michael Cook, and S.N. Eisenstadt. Toby Huff’s introduction not only knits the thematics of the separate essays together but adds its own stresses while engaging the contributors in dialogue and debate about fundamental issues. This acute collective analysis establishes a new benchmark for understanding Weber and Islam. This book also provides an up-to-date overview of the developmental history of many aspects of Islam. A major reappraisal of the entire span of Max Weber’s sociological thought on Islam, this book will appeal to a wide range of scholars and laymen interested in the Islamic world. It will be of particular interest to sociologists specializing in religion and Middle East area specialists.
