This primer is the first introductory guide to the work of Max Weber
designed specifically for students and those new to his work,
providing a readable, clear, comprehensive and authoritative overview.
The book discusses Weber’s personal biography, placing him in the
context of the development of the social sciences, covering his
methodology as well as his work on religion, politics, economic
history, music, and the development of capitalism. All that the reader
needs to gain a good grasp of Weber’s importance is contained in
this book, which provides a firm foundation for the independent
reading of Weber himself and for pursuing the many discussions and
interpretations of his ideas. The book will appeal to readers in
sociology, politics, history, law, religion, and other areas of the
social sciences to which Weber made a contribution. The book includes
a complete list of the best translations of Weber’s works into
English, an extensive guide to further reading highlighting uses and
applications of Weber’s ideas, and a brief overview of the German
editions of his collected works.
