Science, Values and Politics in Max Weber's Methodology
First published in 1972, this book on Weber's methodological writings is today regarded as a modern classic in its field. In this new expanded edition, the author has revised and updated the original text, and translated the numerous German quotations into English. He has also added a new introduction, where he discusses major issues raised in the relevant secondary literature since 1972. The author traces the relationship between values and science in Max Weber's methodology of its central aspects: value freedom, value relation (Wertbeziehung), value analysis, the ideal type and the special problems which pertain to the sphere of politics. Weber's thought is presented and discussed on the basis of a meticulous analysis of all available, published or unpublished, original material. The book is indispensable for all serious Weber scholars and provides the general student with a clear, accessible and authoritative exposition of major aspects of Weber's methodology.

I nutiden er Max Weber nok mest kendt som en af sociologiens betydeligste klassikere, og med rette; men det er samtidig vigtigt at være opmærksom på, at hans indsats rakte langt ud over sociologiens grænser, og at det egentlig er misvisende at forsøge at rubricere ham under et bestemt fag. Der findes ikke én Weber, men mange, er det blevet sagt. Hans fagvidenskabelige arbejde rakte fra økonomisk historie og retshistorie over erhvervs- og socialpolitiske studier, til industriarbejdets psykologiske og organisatoriske problemer, fra religionsstudier, almen sociologisk teori, til metodologiske og videnskabsteoretiske emner. Dertil kommer, at Weber som engageret borger i flere perioder af sit liv var meget aktiv i den politiske debat som skribent og taler. Det foreliggende udvalg af tekster stammer fra perioden 1895, hvor Weber kort forinden var tiltrådt som professor i Freiburg, til hans død i 1920 56 år gammel og dækker et bredt spektrum af de emner, han beskæftigede sig med. Udvalget er redigeret af Heine Andersen, Hans Henrik Bruun og Lars Bo Kaspersen. Udvalgte tekster udkom første gang i 2003 og genudgives nu i Hans Reitzels Forlags serie Klassikere.
Max Weber
Weber’s methodological writings form the bedrock of key ideas across the social sciences. His discussion of value freedom and value commitment, causality, understanding and explanation, theory building and ideal types have been of fundamental importance, and their impact remains undiminished today. These ideas influence the current research practice of sociologists, historians, economists and political scientists and are central to debates in the philosophy of social science. But, until now, Weber's extensive writings on methodology have lacked a comprehensive publication. Edited by two of the world's leading Weber scholars, Collected Methodological Writings will provide a completely new, accurate and reliable translation of Weber’s extensive output, including previously untranslated letters. Accompanying editorial commentary explains the context of, and interconnections between, all these writings, and additional useful features include a glossary of German terms and an English key, endnotes, bibliography, and person and subject indexes.
Critics of Enlightenment Rationalism Revisited
This book provides an overview of some of the most important critics of “Enlightenment rationalism.” The subjects of the volume (including, among others, Pascal, Vico, Schmitt, Weber, Anscombe, Scruton, and Tolkien) do not share a philosophical tradition as much as a skeptical disposition toward the notion, common among modern thinkers, that there is only one standard of rationality or reasonableness, and that that one standard is or ought to be taken from the presuppositions, methods, and logic of the natural sciences. The essays on each thinker are intended not merely to offer a commentary on that thinker, but also to place the person in the context of this larger stream of anti-rationalist thought.
Max Weber’s Sociology
This volume outlines Max Weber’s comparative-historical sociology of "interpretive understanding" (verstehen) in a manner that clarifies his complex mode of analysis and multi-causal focus. Presenting the central features of his methodology, it demonstrates the strengths of his research strategies through discussions of his major works and overarching concerns. Among other themes, this study addresses the origins of the American political culture, the longevity of its civic sphere, and the multiple causes behind the unique historical pathways followed by several civilizations. Indeed, through summaries of Weber’s procedures and their application in his own empirical studies, Max Weber’...
Max Weber's Theory of the Modern State
Andreas Anter reconstructs Max Weber's theory of the modern state, showing its significance to contemporary political science. He reveals the ambivalence of Weber's political thought: the oscillation between an étatiste position, mainly oriented to the reason of state, and an individualistic one, focussed on the freedom of individuals
Extraordinary Responsibility
This book explores how an impoverished understanding of responsibility as quantifiable and dischargeable sustains moralistic politics.

Max Webers status som samfundsvidenskabelig klassiker og varig inspirationskilde til forståelse af samfundsforhold, kultur, religion, historie mv. er uomtvistelig. Weber har i adskillige årtier været en af de mest læste og citerede forfattere i samfundsvidenskaberne overhovedet og anvendes i undervisning på mange trin over et bredt spektrum af uddannelser. Udvalgte tekster er et repræsentativt udsnit af Max Weber-tekster i dansk oversættelse, som ved at lette tilgangen til forfatterskabet gerne skulle bidrage til en bedre formidling og udnyttelse af Webers værk på dansk grund. De udvalgte tekster stammer fra perioden 1895 indtil Webers død i 1920. De behandlede temaer er mangfoldige: sociologiens teoretiske og metodologiske grundlag, magt, økonomi, politik, bureaukrati og klasser, religionssociologi og retssociologi. Udvalget er redigeret af Heine Andersen, Hans Henrik Bruun og Lars Bo Kaspersen. Udvalgte tekster udkom første gang i 2003 og genudgives nu i Hans Reitzels Forlags serie Klassikere.
