This unique volume gathers Weber’s writings on a broad array of
themes, from the nature of work, to the political culture of
democracy, to the uniqueness of the West, to the character of the
family and race relations, to the role of science and the fate of
ethical action in the modern world.
* Gathers Weber’s writings in a comprehensive collection,
organized by topic.
* Rejuvenates a central, pivotal theme of Weberian thought: ‘How
do we live?’ and ‘How can we live in the industrial
society?’
* Connects Weber’s writings to contemporary issues through
modern essays and editorial introductions.
