در یکی از مقالاتم از مقاله ی علم به مثابه ی حرفه استفاده کردم. در آنجا در توصیف این اثر وبر نوشتم:
وبر معمولاً به سختی خوانده می شود و با سختی دوچندانی قابل ترجمه است. او همیشه از جملات طولانی استفاده می کند و در میان آن از جملات معترضه ی بسیاری کمک می گیرد. همچنین بعد از اینکه ایده ی خود را در پاراگرافی بیان کرد، معمولاً با چندین تبصره سعی می کند که آن را محدود کند تا به ظرافت تمام آنچه می اندیشد را به مخاطب بفهماند. شاید این ویژگی مکتوبات وبر به این دلیل باشد که او در حین نوشتن، "...more

Vocation Lectures; excerpts from Economy and Society; essays from what would be compiled as Weber's Collected Works on Sociology of Religion (an intro, a between-tro, a companion essay to PESC, excerpts from Confucianism and Daoism and Religions of India), and some pieces about Germany politics and economy. Good intro too.
Intro says Max thought both Conservatives and Marxists were too simplistic, so he tried to carve out a third Liberal way that acknowledged the individual as a soci...more

This volume contains a series of essays by the German sociologist, Max Weber, whose work has been very influential in the social sciences. It provides entree to his thinking. Excellent source to understand better Weber's body of work.
i read this book during my HSM...examples given by the author at every point to clarify the view are interesting and easy to understand and they develop greater under standing of the context...
Blew my fucking mind. It is amazing how Weber's sociological and political analysis is still relevant to a globalized economy.
A very good collection of pieces by Weber. A must have for any Weber enthusiast.
Not something I'd read for fun, but some interesting stuff in here.
I only read "Politics as Vocation" and "Science as Vocation" but both were worth the read. Especially amusing are his side remarks on universities and academicians.
Didn't read the whole thing, just selections for class.

My undergraduate Russian History professor gave me a battered copy of this collection half a lifetime and more ago. If I was serious about History he said, if I really cared about History and social history and how societies are structured and how they develop, then I'd need to read this. He was right back then, and he's still right. Weber's essays are fine pieces--- incisive, sombre, thoughtful. Indispensable to anyone who cares about analysing social structures.
Max Weber in this essays emphesis on notion of 'action' and 'meaning'. He believes that human being consist of for kind of 'actions'. 'Meaning' ma be of two kind. this is a great book for people who want to about sociology and its definition.
Classic!!! Is incredibly relevant today as it was when Weber wrote it, especially for those interested in the current practice of internet personalization (ie, The Filter Bubble by Eli Pariser)
Karangan Max Weber selalu menarik. Pengamatan dan analisis yang dibuat cukup tajam dan dapat menggambarkan kondisi sosial masyarakat pada zamannya. Menarik untuk jadi referensi sejarah sosiologi.
Be sure to read Gerth & Mills' fine introduction to this edition of classic essays by Max Weber.

His major works dealt with the rationalization, bureaucratization and 'disenchantment' associated with the rise of capitalism.
