E.H. Weber On The Tactile Senses - E.h. Weber - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

E.H. Weber On The Tactile Senses - E.h. Weber - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

This is a revised edition of "E.H. Weber: The Sense of Touch". The title has been broadened to reflect the fact that Weber explored all the skin senses - and indeed the muscle sense and that mysterious entity "the common feeling". The introduction has been expanded to include further information on Weber''s life and times, and on recent research relevant to Weber''s own work. The translations of Weber''s main works of psychological interest "De Tactu" and "Der Tastsinn und das Gemeingefuehl" contain only minor changes, but the footnotes have been updated.; The reader will find here much more than those topics for which Weber is best known - the two-point threshold, experiments on weight discrimination, and a statement of what is now called Weber''s Law. Weber also remarked on many aspects of sensory psychology - on left-right asymmetry in sensitivity, on visual resolution, the binocular combination of colours, the moon illusion, on summation, inhibition and adaptation in sensory systems, on the difference between simultaneous and successive presentations, on selective attention, the externalization of sensations and the difference between sensation and perception.

Max Weber - Alan Sica - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Max Weber - Alan Sica - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

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.

Understanding Weber - Sam Whimster - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Understanding Weber - Sam Whimster - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Understanding Weber provides an accessible and comprehensive explanation of the central issues of Weber''s work. Using the most recent scholarship and editions of Weber''s writings, Sam Whimster establishes the full range, depth and development of Max Weber''s approach to the social and cultural sciences. This ground-breaking book: - locates the central issues in Weber''s writings and relates them to the golden era of social and cultural sciences - argues that Weber remains the major exponent of the classical tradition still relevant today - offers a new interpretation of the dynamic of Weber’s career as historian, social-economist, methodologist and sociologist. Weber''s sociology still stands as a successful and valid underwriting of the substantive fields of power, law, rulership, culture, religion, civilizational configurations, and economic sociology. At a time of the turning away from grand theory to empirical policy studies, this book asserts the authority of Weber''s conception and calls for a critical engagement with his legacy in order to understand the dynamics of a globalizing modernity. This is an indispensable guide to Weber''s writings and will be an invaluable companion to The Essential Weber (2004). The book closely tracks the development of Weber’s thinking, an exploration that will make it an obligatory choice for undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as researchers in the fields of sociological theory, economic sociology and cultural studies.

Max Weber - Stephen P. Turner - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Max Weber: The Lawyer as Social thinker aims to relate the categories of Weber''s social thinking to the intellectual context of legal thinking and theory in which he was educated. Its interpretive aim is to show how knowledge of these relations illuminates our understanding of Weber''s own intentions. By comparing Weber''s social theory of the teleological kind favoured by his contemporaries, which sought to identify social purposes and their effects and realization in history, but rather to radically undermine the project of teleological social theory by replacing categories of description that are amenable to or dependent upon teleological interpretations with categories that are specifically constructed to strip away teleology. The book identifies some of the key sources of Weber''s thought in the legal tradition, notably the jurisprudential theorist Rudolph von Ihering, who was a classic teleological thinker, influenced by Bentham as well as by neo-Kantianism. Weber''s famous definition of social action should be adequate on the level of meaning and adequate on the level cause is shown to be a variant of Ihering''s purposive definition of social action. The same is done for the concept of interest, which Ihering connects to common social purposes: Weber disconnects it. The book is the only account of the sources of Weber''s sociology of law. The book leads to a new interpretation of Weber. It should be of interest to scholars in social theory, jurisprudence and the history of ideas.

Max Weber and the New Century - Alan Sica - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Max Weber and the New Century - Alan Sica - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

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. Over the past seventy years, those special ideas that have become identified as "Weberian" have become especially pertinent to those who would analyze today''s socioeconomic and cultural life. They offer the possibility of a more acute understanding of our immediate future than reliance on the ideas of any other social theorist in the pantheon. Alan Sica demonstrates Weber''s preeminent position and lasting vitality within social theory by applying them to topics of contemporary concern. The result will appeal to experts and novices alike. Max Weber and the New Century documents the continuing usefulness of Weber''s unrivalled social thought. Sica offers a series of linked studies that treat Weber''s concept of rationalization as expressed in different cultural forms, the role of Weberian ideas in contemporary historiography, the uses of Weber''s image in the popular imagination, the rhetorical structure of Economy and Society , and Weber''s relationship to modern philosophical thought. Conceptually and practically, this volume is a companion piece to the author''s forthcoming Max Weber: A Comprehensive Bibliography --a 3,600-item bibliography of works by and about Weber in English--which, for the first time, will allow scholars to explore the universe of Weberian analysis. Max Weber and the New Century is a valuable addition to the library of social scientists, historians, philosophers, economists, and students of intellectual history. It shows that Weber--the scholar as much as his ideas--continues to inspire fruitful social and cultural analyses.

Max Weber and Islam - Wolfgang Schluchter - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Max Weber and Islam - Wolfgang Schluchter - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

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.

Max Weber on Capitalism, Bureaucracy and Religion - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Max Weber on Capitalism, Bureaucracy and Religion - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

For this important selection from Weber, sections of text from Weber''s major works ( Gesammelte, Aufsatze Zur Religionssoziologie , including The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism; General Economic History ; and The Agrarian Sociology of Ancient Civilisations ) have been carefully edited and substantially translated to form a coherent and integrated volume. Professor Andreski''s aim has been to use Weber''s own works to explain crucial turns in the evolution of societies and cultures, while eliminating the difficulties of language and frequent mistranslation which have previously made Weber so difficult and baffling for students new to his work. An essay by Andreski introduces the selections, which are centred on Weber''s principal interest, the relationship between capitalism, religion and bureaucracy. He seeks to correct those misinterpretations of Weber''s work which have stressed his classification, rather than his attempts to theorise and explain social phenomena on the basis of a comparitive analysis of universal historical trends. This book was first published in 1983.

Weber and Durkheim - Henrik Jensen - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Weber and Durkheim: A methodological comparison is a systematic, comparative analysis of the methodologies of Max Weber and Émile Durkheim. Jensen shows how Weber and Durkheim analyse Protestants and Catholics in practice in The Protestant Ethic and Suicide , respectively.

This book will be a valuable resource for students and scholars of sociology, social methodology, political theory, political science, social theory and philosophy.
