In the last decade an increasing amount of Anglo-American
scholarship has been devoted to the centrality of politics within
Max Weber's work. There has been a radical shift away from the
Parsonian view that Weber was a mainstream sociologist. While
sympathetic to these approaches, Charles Turner argues that none of
them have adequately dealt with Weber's "concept" of the political.
In particular, Turner argues that in order to demonstrate the
importance of Weber's politics other scholars have read him as
neo-Aristotelian, playing down the role of neo-Kantian value
philosophy. Turner argues that while Weber's work certainly bears
comparison with themes specific to the neo-Aristotelian critique of
modernity, an appreciation of the analytical centrality of politics
is quite consistent with his appeal to the neo-Kantian philosophy
of his own day. The key to this is an understanding of what Weber
means by the tragedy of "culture."
One of the most distinctive features of "Modernity and Politics in
the Work of Max Weber" is that it encourages Weber specialists to
situate themselves in a wider range of debates about "modernity."
