Max Weber is repeatedly cited as the supposed guarantor of this thesis. But neither his type of "bureaucratic rule" nor his concept of "rational work organization" - although both are tailored to modern conditions - contain, on closer inspection, compelling arguments for a principled limitation of organizations as such to modernity. Both actually reach their depth of focus only in contrast to "pre-modern" forms of organization. A sociology of organization that wants to refer to Max Weber's work while avoiding the numerous common misunderstandings of its reception must broaden its historical view and consider the possibility of "pre-modern organizations". The author Philipp Jakobs is a research assistant at the Chair of Cultural Sociology at the University of Bonn, where he is doing his doctorate on economic organizations from a historical-sociological perspective. This book is a translation of an original German edition. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation.Organizational sociologyOccupations—Sociological aspectsPolitical sociologyEconomic sociologySociologySociology—HistorySociology of Organizations and OccupationsPolitical SociologyEconomic SociologySociological TheoryHistory of SociologyOrganizational sociology.Occupations—Sociological aspects.Political sociology.Economic sociology.Sociology.Sociology—History.Sociology of Organizations and Occupations.Political Sociology.Economic Sociology.Sociological Theory.History of Sociology.302.35Jakobs Philipp1277145MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910647392003321Max Weber and the Sociology of Organization3010117UNINA
