In Romance and Reason Andrew Koch notes that in the annals of
social research the jury is still out on Max Weber. It is for no
other reason than Weber's enormous body of foundational work in
sociology that he is continually undergoing several simultaneous
versions of integration into contemporary social research. Whether
Weber is a central, secondary, or tertiary consideration in social
research it behooves any social scientist to take a position on the
work of Max Weber. In this erudite new intellectual biography Koch
argues that Weber's understanding of the Enlightenment, in all its
epistemological and ontological structures, conveys the
Enlightenment itself as an alienating worldview. As a result, Koch
contends, the full depth of Weber's body of work has yet to be
excavated and studied. Romance and Reason is an analysis of the
genesis of the concept of alienation and, in an imaginative and
necessary turn, Koch works to recreate the context in which Weber
understood alienation in both the intellectual and lived sense.
This book is a fundamental explication on the contemporary Weber
and is a salient addition to sociology, cultural studies, cultural
anthropology, and any field that is invested in understanding
contemporary culture and society.
