Revealing the extent to which scholars are seeking to understand both current and historical issues through the sociology of Max Weber, this book reaffirms and extends the enduring relevance of Weber's thought to contemporary cultural and political questions.Through a thematic structure designed to expose a variety of ways in which Weber's work matters with reference to a given subject, it comprises methodological reflection on Weber's historical sociology, as well as the application and testing of his ideal types in historical enquiry, often to areas that have not yet been approached in this way.With its focus on both the practical application of Weber's thought as well as his philosophical legacy, "Max Weber Matters" will be of interest to scholars across a range of disciplines, including historians, sociologists, political scientists and social theorists.
