Seller's Description:
Like New. Size: 6x0x9; [From the library of noted scholar Richard A. Macksey. ] Hardcover and dust jacket. Good binding and cover. Minor shelf wear. Clean, unmarked pages. 208 pages, 23 cm. "Max Weber's methodology has traditionally been claimed by two camps; one that wants to steer the social sciences in the interpretive or hermeneutic direction and one that favors a more objectivist or positivistic social science. Fritz Ringer's book presents a clear and well-written summary of Weber's methodological position, but it is also a plea to scholars to overcome these differences. Ringer argues that, in the end, all the social sciences need to engage in causal explanation and that Weber's ideas are still relevant to the project of a causal, objective, and scientific social science. This book is now arguably the most reliable and readable exposition in English of Weber's complicated methodological essays."-Ralph Schroeder.

Seller's Description:
Minor rubbing. VG. 23x15cm, viii, 188 pp, PAPERBACK. "At a time when historical and cultural analyses are being subjected to all manner of ideological and disciplinary examinations, the work of social theorist, Max Weber, is especially relevant. In this study, Fritz Ringer offers a new approach to the work of Weber, interpreting his methodological writings in the context of the German intellectual debates of his day. According to Ringer, Weber was able to bridge the intellectual divide between humanistic interpretation and causal explanation in historical and cultural studies in a way that speaks directly to our own time, when methodological differences continue to impede co-operation between humanists and social scientists. In the place of the humanists subjectivism and the social scientists naturalism, Weber developed the concepts of objective probability and adequate causation. This text grounds technical theories in specific examples, and shows how fully reconstructed, Weber's methodological position in fact anticipated the most fruitful directions in our own contemporary philosophies of the cultural and social sciences. Ringer's conceptualization of Weber's approach and achievement elucidates Weber's reconciliation of interpretive understanding and causal explanation and shows its relevance to intellectual life and culture in Weber's own time and in ours as well"-Publisher's description.
