For Weber: Essays on the Sociology of Fate (Published in association with Theory, Culture & Society)

By Bryan S. Turner

Book Overview

For Weber is recognized widely as one of the most incisive and stimulating books on Weber in the post-war period. Writing in defence of Weber′s sociology against the criticism of academic sociology by Marxists such as Louis Althusser, Bryan Turner, a leading Weberian scholar, rejects the view that Weber′s sociology is bourgeois, subjectivist and individualistic.

This Second Edition, now available in paperback, includes a new Preface which reviews the scholarship on Weber since 1981. The book also provides a survey of the strengths and weaknesses of the major sociological approaches in the post-war period.
