In this work originally published in German in 1920, Weber discusses the analytical methods of sociology and, at the same time, presents a devastating critique of prevailing sociological theory and of its universalist, determinist underpinnings. None of Weber’s other writings offers the reader such a grasp of his theories; none displays so clearly his erudition, the scope of his interests, and his analytical powers. Maximilian Karl Emil Weber was a sociologist, historian, jurist, and political economist regarded as among the most important theorists of the development of modern Western society.
