The Max Weber Dictionary: Key Words and Central ConceptsMax Weber is one of the world s most important social scientists, and one of the most notoriously difficult to understand. This dictionary will aid the reader in understanding Weber s work. Every entry contains a basic definition, examples of and references to the word in Weber s writing, and references to important secondary literature. More than an elementary dictionary, however, this work makes a contribution to the general culture and legacy of Weber s work. The dictionary also contains extended entries for broader concepts and topics throughout Weber s work, including law, politics, and religion. Every entry in the dictionary delves into Weber scholarship and acts as a point of departure in discussion and research. As such, this book will be an invaluable resource to general readers, students, and scholars alike. |
