Peter Ghosh

Peter Ghosh suggests that The Protestant Ethic is the link which unites the earlier (pre-1900) and later (post-1910) phases of Weber's career. He offers a series of fresh perspectives on Weber's thought across its full range-charisma, capitalism, law, politics, rationality, bourgeois life, and (not show more least) Weber's unusual religious thinking, which was 'remote from god' yet based on close dialogue with Christian theology. This approach produces a convincing view of Max Weber as a whole. While previously the sheer breadth of his intellectual interests has caused him to be read in a fragmentary way according to a series of specialized viewpoints, this volume seeks to put him back together again as a real individual. show less
