Max Weber in America /Lawrence A. Scaff. - Princeton : Princeton University Press, (c)2011. - 1 online resource xiv, 311 pages) : illustrations
Includes bibliographies and index.
Part 1. The American journey -- part 2. The work in America.
Max Weber, widely considered a founder of sociology and the modern social sciences, visited the United States in 1904 with his wife Marianne. The trip was a turning point in Weber's life and it played a pivotal role in shaping his ideas, yet until now virtually our only source of information about the trip was Marianne Weber's faithful but not always reliable 1926 biography of her husband. Max Weber in America carefully reconstructs this important episode in Weber's career, and shows how the subsequent critical reception of Weber's work was as American a story as the trip itself.
