Max Weber: Selections in Translation by Max Weber (PDF)

Description

In this volume, Mr Runciman has selected extracts, from Max Weber’s writings which reflect the full range of his major concerns: the nature of domination in human society, the role of ideas in history, the social determinants of religion, the origin and impact of industrial capitalism and the scope and limits of social science itself. He has also included some shorter extracts from Weber’s less familiar writings on such diverse topics as the stock exchange and the history of the piano.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐In my terms the first four pages are heavily marked. Otherwise the book was supplied, as described, at a reasonable price and within a reasonable time.

⭐A wonderful compilation of Weber’s key works.

⭐I keep looking for ideas that could be applied in politics. Max Weber had an emphasis on religion in The Soteriology of the Underprivileged, first published in 1922 and included in these selections just before the chapter on The Religions of Asia. An Indian Vishnuite sect that is primarily poor people who worship a hereditary guru, is stuck up enough to exclude outsiders, probably because the limited amount of salvation can’t be bought up by somebody no one knows, like all our old hangouts in America. The American dream has brought millions of people to America with high hopes for something like Max Weber considering that sect, which “took very seriously the dissolution of the caste taboo (which in theory is part of many salvation religions) and established at any rate limited commensality among its members, extending to private life as well as cultic contexts, as a consequence of which it has become primarily a sect of poor people. In this sect, the anthropolatrous veneration of the hereditary guru is promoted to the fullest extent, even to the point of excluding outsiders from the cult.” (p. 179).
