Book Synopsis Social Evolution and Sociological Categories (Routledge Revivals) by : Paul Q. Hirst
Download or read book Social Evolution and Sociological Categories (Routledge Revivals) written by Paul Q. Hirst and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-01-21 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1976, this book is concerned with the nature of classification in the social sciences. Its thesis is that classifications are dependent upon and are derived from theoretical explanations. Classification is not a theoretically neutral typification or ordering of social forms. This is because objects classified – societies, social institutions – are not given to knowledge independently of the categories which construct them and because the categories of classification are themselves the products of theories.

They are sure guides in the maze of conflicting interpretations, and draw out the implications of Weber's sociology for understanding social change in the 21st century. Gil Eyal, Columbia University Many will value this as the best collection of essays on Max Weber in the English language.

Download or read book Economy and Society written by Max Weber and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1978 with total page 1660 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Max Weber's Economy and Society is the greatest sociological treatise written in this century. Published posthumously in Germany in the early 1920's, it has become a constitutive part of the modern sociological imagination. Economy and Society was the first strictly empirical comparison of social structures and normative orders in world-historical depth, containing the famous chapters on social action, religion, law, bureaucracy, charisma, the city, and the political community with its dimensions of class, status and power. Economy and Status is Weber's only major treatise for an educated general public. It was meant to be a broad introduction, but in its own way it is the most demanding textbook yet written by a sociologist. The precision of its definitions, the complexity of its typologies and the wealth of its historical content make the work a continuos challenge at several levels of comprehension: for the advanced undergraduate who gropes for his sense of society, for the graduate student who must develop his own analytical skills, and for the scholar who must match wits with Weber. When the long-awaited first complete English edition of Economy and Society was published in 1968, Arthur Stinchcombe wrote in the American Journal of Sociology: "My answer to the question of whether people should still start their sociological intellectual biographies with Economy and Society is yes." Reinhard Bendix noted in the American Sociological Review that the "publication of a compete English edition of Weber's most systematic work [represents] the culmination of a cultural transmission to the American setting...It will be a study-guide and compendium for years to come for all those interested in historical sociology and comparative study." In a lengthy introduction, Guenther Roth traces the intellectual prehistory of Economy and Society, the gradual emergence of its dominant themes and the nature of its internal logic. Mr. Roth is a Professor of Sociology at Columbia University. Mr. Wittich heads an economic research group at the United Nations.

Book Synopsis Theories of Modern Capitalism (Routledge Revivals) by : Tom Bottomore
Download or read book Theories of Modern Capitalism (Routledge Revivals) written by Tom Bottomore and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-01-22 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1985, Theories of Modern Capitalism provides a succinct study of Marxist and non-Marxist theories of Capitalism, its recent development, and the prospects of a transition to socialism. The study begins with a critical examination and comparison of four major theories of capitalism, in the works of Marx, Weber, Schumpeter and Hayek. This is followed by an analysis of the most recent phase of capitalism which has been conceptualised by Marxists thinkers in various ways as 'organised capitalism'', 'state monopoly', or 'late capitalism'. Finally, Bottomore considers the question of a 'transition to socialism' in the diverse interpretations which have been offered by Marxists on one side, and by Weber, Schumpeter and Hayek on the other. Theories of Modern Capitalism will be valuable in a wide range of courses in social and political theory, and will also have an appeal to a broader readership concerned with issues of social and economic policy.
Book Synopsis Capital and Power (Routledge Revivals) by : John Girling
Download or read book Capital and Power (Routledge Revivals) written by John Girling and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-07-02 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1987, this book comprises a critical evaluation of Marxist, Gramscian and pluralist theories of social development; the application of these theories, chiefly to Third World countries: hence consideration of the problems of ‘specificity’, general theory and social change. This is followed by an assessment of the stages of economic development in relation to state power and politics; and the role of the ‘external’: the impact of the world market economy and the security imperative. The book is not a discussion of theory, but of theory-in-practice. Above all, it represents a continuing debate between Marxism and pluralism – on the themes of accumulation, power, legitimacy – resulting in convergence.

Book Synopsis Economy and Society by : Sam Whimster
Download or read book Economy and Society written by Sam Whimster and published by . This book was released on 2008-06 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economy and Society: The Final Versionrepresents the codification of Weber’s thinking on the fundamental topics of social science: sociology as an interpretative science of society the economy treated in an interpretative manner the legitimacy of rulership and power the formation of class, status groups, and political parties. These were themes Weber had worked with throughout his academic life and in this final and succinct formulation they provide the basis of modern sociology and much of the thinking in economics, politics and law. This edition offers a new translation by Keith Tribe, the first new translation of this classic text since the A.M. Henderson and Talcott Parsons’ translation of 1947. The new translation restores Weber’s original page layout, the precision of his language and where necessary supplies explanatory footnotes. Sam Whimster also provides a comprehensive introduction. This places the work in the context of the older, separate manuscripts of E&S , updates readers with the advances in international Weber scholarship, and initiates the reader into Weber’s architectonic vision of a unified social science.
Book Synopsis Max Weber and the Path from Political Economy to Economic Sociology by : Christopher Adair-Toteff
Download or read book Max Weber and the Path from Political Economy to Economic Sociology written by Christopher Adair-Toteff and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-11-01 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the largely-neglected shift in Max Weber’s work from political economy to economic sociology. Considering the importance of his recognition—made during his research on the Protestant Ethic—of the reciprocal influences that exist between economics and society and the role of this realization in prompting him to rethink the study of political economy, the author sheds fresh light on his emerging belief that the study of the relationship between economic factors and social issues required a new discipline. A study that charts an important development in the thought of one of the founding figures of sociology, this volume will appeal to scholars of social theory with interests in the history of the field and the legacy of Max Weber.
Book Synopsis Pukhtun Economy and Society (Routledge Revivals) by : Akbar Ahmed
Download or read book Pukhtun Economy and Society (Routledge Revivals) written by Akbar Ahmed and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-04-15 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1980, this groundbreaking Routledge Revival is a reissue of an original and authentic anthropological account of Pukhtun society by Professor Akbar Ahmed. Combining extensive fieldwork data collected among the Mohmand tribe in the Northwest Frontier Province of Pakistan with historical and literary sources, Professor Ahmed’s study seeks to construct an ideal-type model of Pukhtun society based on the ideal Code of the Pukhtuns and to analyse the conditions of its maintenance and transformation. The author’s thesis is that this ideal model exists within Pukhtun society when interaction with larger state systems is minimal and in poor economic zones. In this way he posits an opposition between the Tribal Agencies along the border with Afghanistan, where ecological conditions are poor and state influence minimal, and the Settled Areas under state administration where Pukhtun society is forced away from its ideals.

Book Synopsis Concept Formation in Social Science (Routledge Revivals) by : William Outhwaite
Download or read book Concept Formation in Social Science (Routledge Revivals) written by William Outhwaite and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-10-22 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1983, this book examines the problems of concept formation in the social sciences, and in particular sociology, from the standpoint of a realistic philosophy of science. Beginning with a discussion of positivistic, hermeneutic, rationalist and realistic philosophies of science, Dr Outhwaite argues that realism is best able to furnish rational criteria for the choice and specification of social scientific concepts. A realistic philosophy of science therefore acts as his reference point for the dialectical presentation of alternative accounts.
