Compare Weber's Protestant Ethic by Hartmut Lehmann, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

Although Weber's path-breaking work on the Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism has received much attention ever since it first appeared in 1904-5, recent research has uncovered important new aspects. This volume, the result of an international, interdisciplinary effort, throws new light on the intellectual and cultural background of Weber's work, debates recent criticism of Weber's thesis, and confronts new historical insight on the seventeenth century with Weber's interpretation. Revisiting Weber's thesis serves to deepen our understanding of Weber as much as it will stimulate further research. | Weber's Protestant Ethic by Hartmut Lehmann, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
