They are key texts for understanding Weber’s central sociological concepts concerning Western and Eastern ‘civilisations’. This book argues that the concept and problematic of personality plays a pivotal role within these works. Providing a detailed reconstruction of this concept within Weber’s systematic studies of world religions as well as throughout his methodological and political writings, this book shows its complex development within three strictly related problematics associated with Weber’s influential comparative historical sociology and theory of social action – individuation, politics and orientalism. Together they shape and constitute what is distinctive in Max Weber’s theory of personality.Studies in critical social sciences ;v. 56.Religion and sociologyPersonalityElectronic books.Religion and sociology.Personality.306.6Farris Sara R790945MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910462857703321Max Weber's theory of personality1766994UNINA
