Max Weber's Construction of Social Theory

Trama

Albrow establishes the meaning of the great German social theorist/sociogist's (1864-1920) work in a challenging reading that remains accessible to the interested nonspecialist. The three parts of the volume examine the origins of Weber's ideas and his creativity, identify the way he constructed something new (an empirical social science) from old materials, and explore the implications of that new construction for contemporary social theory.
