Andreas Anter reconstructs Max Weber’s theory of the modern state, showing its significance to contemporary political science. He reveals the ambivalence of Weber’s political thought: the oscillation between an étatiste position, mainly oriented to the reason of state, and an individualistic one, focussed on the freedom of individuals
