Love or greatness (Routledge Revivals) [EPUB ebook] 
Max Weber and masculine thinking

This work, first published in 1990, reissues the first thorough examination of the essentially masculine nature of Max Weber»s social and political thinking. Through a detailed examination of his central texts, the author demonstrates Weber»s masculine reading of »social life» and shows how his work advocates a masculine form of life that poses a challenge to contemporary women and to feminism. In particular, she addresses the patriarchal implications of Weber»s belief in the need to relegate the ethic of brotherly love to a private sphere in order to make possible rational action and the achievement of greatness in the public sphere.
