"Max Weber is best known as one of the founders of modern sociology and the author
of the Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism, but he also made important contributions
to modern political and democratic theory. In Democracy and the Political in Max Weber's
Thought, Terry Maley explores, through a detailed analysis of Weber's writings, the
intersection of recent work on Weber and on democratic theory, bridging the gap between
these two rapidly expanding areas of scholarship ; Maley critically examines how Weber's
realist 'model' of democracy defines and constrains the possibilities for democratic
agency in modern liberal-democracies. Maley also looks at how ideas of historical
time and memory are constructed in his writings on religion, bureaucracy, and the
social sciences. Democracy and the Political in Max Weber's Thought is both an accessible
introduction to Weber's political thought and a spirited defense of its continued
relevance to debates on democracy."--pub. desc
