Description: Max Weber's Sociology of Civilizations: A Reconstruction by Stephen Kalberg Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This book contributes to the establishment of the new field of civilizational analysis. A guidebook that assists social scientists in identifying and explaining the origins, contours, and trajectories of civilizations, it approaches the analysis of civilizations through the works of Max Weber. Publisher Description This volume examines civilizations through the broad lens articulated by the works of Max Weber. In focusing upon his comparative-historical mode of analysis and his causal explanations for the sources, contours, and trajectories of civilizations, this study reconstructs Webers sociology in a manner that provides clear guidelines to researchers seeking to investigate civilizations systematically. Through detailed interpretations of the Wests unique development from Antiquity to the Modern era, precise comparisons to the long-range and singular pathways taken by China and India, and careful demarcations of the "particular rationalisms" of several civilizations, the author addresses Webers powerful model-building on the one hand and his opposition to organic holism and structural presuppositions on the other hand. Both a broad-ranging conceptual framework and case-based empirical investigations are pivotal to Weber. His research strategy emphasizes further the "subjective meanings" of actors East and West and the deep cultural origins of groups. Finally, this volume masterfully conveys Webers contextual and multi-causal methodology rooted in a tight interweaving of the present with the past. Max Webers Sociology of Civilizations: A Reconstruction will appeal to comparative sociologists and historians, as well as to theorists of all persuasions. The social scientist pursuing a cross-civilizational agenda will here discover the distinct contribution of Webers "interpretive understanding" procedures to the now-essential field of civilizational analysis.
