Note(s) : This book presents an entirely new portrait of Max Weber, one of the most prestigious
social theorists in recent history, using his most famous work, 'The Protestant Ethic
and the "Spirit" of Capitalism', as its central point of reference. It offers an intellectual
biography of Weber framed along historical lines - something which has never been
done before. It re-evaluates 'The Protestant Ethic' - a text surprisingly neglected
by scholars - supplying a missing intellectual and chronological centre to Weber's
life and work. Peter Ghosh suggests that 'The Protestant Ethic' 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
