Max Weber (1864-1920) was a principal creator of modern social science.
"Weber has the rare ability to ask the right questions – truly
important questions which others had overlooked – and, in
addition, to develop contextual tools which contribute to their
solution. For this reason he has become a scholar's scholar."
– Christian Century
"The book is the most crucial contribution of our century to the
comparitive and evolutionary understanding of the relationship
between society and religion, and even society and culture
generally." – Talcott Parsons, from the introduction
"Max Weber ... exemplifies the way in which the moral stamina to
live with some of the major existential dilemnas of an age can
enrich a scholar's work and ennoble his life." – The New York
Times Book Review
