It offers an intellectual biography of Weber framed along historical lines - something which has never been done before. It re-evaluates \u003cem\u003eThe Protestant Ethic\u003c\/em\u003e--a text surprisingly neglected by scholars - supplying a missing intellectual and chronological centre to Weber's life and work. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePeter Ghosh suggests that \u003cem\u003eThe Protestant Ethic\u003c\/em\u003e is the link which unites the earlier (pre-1900) and later (post-1910) phases of his career. He offers a series of fresh perspectives on Weber's thought in various areas - charisma, capitalism, law, politics, rationality, bourgeois life, and (not least) Weber's unusual religious thinking, which was 'remote from god' yet based on close dialogue with Christian theology. This approach produces a convincing view of Max Weber as a whole; while previously the sheer breadth of his intellectual interests has caused him to be read in a fragmentary way according to a series of specialized viewpoints, this volume seeks to put him back together again as a real individual.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47890603933847,"sku":"9780198702528","price":12755.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780198702528.webp?v=1781180653","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/max-weber-and-the-protestant-ethic-twin-histories-9780198702528","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
