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 - Marianne Weber - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

Max Weber - Marianne Weber - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

A founder of contemporary social science, Max Weber was born in Germany in 1864. At his death 56 years later, he was nationally known for his scholarly and political writings, but it was the international reception of his oeuvre over the last forty years that has made him world-famous. "The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism," "The Economic Ethics of the World Religions" and his magnum opus, "Economy and Society," with its treatment of the relations of economics, politics, law and religion, belong to the great achievements of 20th-century social science. The groundwork for the posthumous Weber reception was laid by Weber''s widow Marianne, a well-known feminist writer, who followed up her edition of his collected works with one of the greatest biographies in a generation that produced many important accounts of itself. Although unavailable in English until a decade ago, the importance of Marianne Weber''s 1926 work had been widely understood. Sociologist Robert A. Nisbet called it "a moving and deeply felt biographical memoir." Historian Gerhard Masur cited the book as "the foundation of all further inquiries into Max Weber''s life and influence." Beginning with Max''s ancestry and early years, Marianne Weber guides us through his life as student, young lawyer, scholar and political writer, quoting liberally from his voluminous correspondence. Her account of his nervous breakdown after 1897, which curtailed his academic career but ultimately strengthened his creative energies, provides deep insight into some of the personal tensions that troubled him to the end. In addition to her perceptive personal and intellectual life before the First World War, describing many scholars, social reformers, politicians and literary figures within and beyond the famous Heidelberg circle of the Webers. The new introduction by Guenther Roth situates Marianne Weber''s own role in the contemporary setting and discusses the current state of Weber research and of the international Weber reception.

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.

The Unknown Max Weber - Paul Honigsheim - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

The Unknown Max Weber - Paul Honigsheim - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

Edited and introduced by Alan Sica. Paul Honigsheim is unique. One of the select few who regularly participated in the Weber-Kreis in Heidelberg during the 1910s, Honigsheim''s special place within Weber''s world adds a degree of credibility to his writings matched by few others. In the late 1940s Honigsheim published four essays from what might be called Weber''s "lost decade," the period during which Weber established his reputation in Germany as the most versatile and brilliant of the younger social scientists. Together in one volume for the first time, these essays reveal portions of Weber''s work previously unavailable in English. In the opening essay, "Max Weber as Rural Sociologist," Honigsheim treats Weber''s essays on Russia, Poland, and other works in economic history. He offers a point of departure for those wishing to probe Weber''s celebrated and misconstrued distaste for traditional Slavic social structure. In "Max Weber as Applied Anthropologist," Honigsheim examines Weber''s commitment to the study of race, ethnicity, and nationalism as mediated by ethnic attachments, social policy formation, handicraft economies, and what he calls "Ethno-Politics." "Max Weber as Historian of Agriculture and Rural Life" is a masterpiece of exegesis and comparative inquiry. The final essay, "Max Weber: His Religious and Ethical Background and Development," acts as a minor corrective and addendum to Marianne Weber''s biography. The book concludes with Honigsheim''s reminiscences of the Weber circle. Interest in the work and person of Max Weber grows with each year. From his writings the reader may glean the finer shades and contours of thoughts that arise from private exchanges between Honigsheim and Max Weber. This volume will interest a broad spectrum of social scientists.

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 in America - Lawrence A. Scaff - Bog - Princeton University Press - Plusbog.dk

Max Weber in America - Lawrence A. Scaff - Bog - Princeton University Press - Plusbog.dk

Max Weber, widely considered a founder of sociology and the modern social sciences, visited the United States in 1904 with his wife Marianne. The trip was a turning point in Weber''s life and it played a pivotal role in shaping his ideas, yet until now virtually our only source of information about the trip was Marianne Weber''s faithful but not always reliable 1926 biography of her husband. Max Weber in America carefully reconstructs this important episode in Weber''s career, and shows how the subsequent critical reception of Weber''s work was as American a story as the trip itself. Lawrence Scaff provides new details about Weber''s visit to the United States--what he did, what he saw, whom he met and why, and how these experiences profoundly influenced Weber''s thought on immigration, capitalism, science and culture, Romanticism, race, diversity, Protestantism, and modernity. Scaff traces Weber''s impact on the development of the social sciences in the United States following his death in 1920, examining how Weber''s ideas were interpreted, translated, and disseminated by American scholars such as Talcott Parsons and Frank Knight, and how the Weberian canon, codified in America, was reintroduced into Europe after World War II. A landmark work by a leading Weber scholar, Max Weber in America will fundamentally transform our understanding of this influential thinker and his place in the history of sociology and the social sciences.

Max Weber - Randall Collins - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Max Weber - Randall Collins - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

A concise overview of sociology′s greatest classic thinker. Weber emerges as a multisided intellectual personality, whose intellectual ambivalence is related to a neurotic breakdown in mid career and to the compromises he was forced to make among the conflicting politievanscal and intellectual currents of his time. Here we see what kinds of philosophical idealism Weber favored and what kinds he rejected, as well as his position on the "battle of methods" among the economists of his day. Weber′s famous "Protestant Ethic" thesis is put in proper perspective as an intellectual gambit in one particular period of his life, rather than as his central achievement. Weber′s overall view of social change is examined, drawing on several of his crucial but little-known works, on the sociology of ancient agrarian societies and on the long chain of organizational conditions that finally led to modern capitalism. Also treated are Weber′s major works on the sociology of religion and his contributions to systematic theory, especially social stratification. The many strands of Weber′s theorizing, and his tremendous scope of comparisons across world history, are here brought into a clear and manageable focus. "Randall Collins is the leading sociological theorist of his generation. He has also done more than anyone else to use and develop Weberian sociology. Accordingly we expect much from Collins on Weber and Max Weber does not disappoint." --Whitney Pope, Indiana University "A lively, efficient, reliable interpretation, captivating for the novice, provocative for the expert. . . . Typical Collins." --Alan Sica, University of Kansas "A good introductory survey of Weber′s major writings. It is interesting reading and highly informative." --Contemporary Sociology "A good capsule biography . . . very readable . . . honors clarity, style, and the value of popular understanding." --The Madison Independent Books in Review "Ideal for an introductory course on Weber." --Ethics

The Max Weber Dictionary - Richard Swedberg - Bog - Stanford University Press - Plusbog.dk

The Max Weber Dictionary - Richard Swedberg - Bog - Stanford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Max Weber is one of the world''s most important social scientists, but he is also one of the most notoriously difficult to understand. This revised, updated, and expanded edition of The Max Weber Dictionary reflects up-to-the-moment threads of inquiry and introduces the most recent translations and references. Additionally, the authors include new entries designed to help researchers use Weber''s ideas in their own work; they illuminate how Weber himself thought theorizing should occur and how he went about constructing a theory. More than an elementary dictionary, however, this work makes a contribution to the general culture and legacy of Weber''s work. In addition to entries on broad topics like religion, law, and the West, the completed German definitive edition of Weber''s work ( Max Weber Gesamtausgabe ) necessitated a wealth of new entries and added information on topics like pragmatism and race and racism. Every entry in the dictionary delves into Weber scholarship and acts as a point of departure for discussion and research. As such, this book will be an invaluable resource to general readers, students, and scholars alike.

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

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.
