Paul Honigsheim is unique. One of the select few who regularly
participated in the Weber-Kreis in Heidelberg during the 1910s,
Honigsheim's special place within Weber's world adds a degree of
credibility to his writings matched by few others. In the late
1940s Honigsheim published four essays from what might be called
Weber's "lost decade," the period during which Weber established
his reputation in Germany as the most versatile and brilliant of
the younger social scientists. Together in one volume for the first
time, these essays reveal portions of Weber's work previously
unavailable in English. In the opening essay, "Max Weber as Rural
Sociologist," Honigsheim treats Weber's essays on Russia, Poland,
and other works in economic history. He offers a point of departure
for those wishing to probe Weber's celebrated and misconstrued
distaste for traditional Slavic social structure. In "Max Weber as
Applied Anthropologist," Honigsheim examines Weber's commitment to
the study of race, ethnicity, and nationalism as mediated by ethnic
attachments, social policy formation, handicraft economies, and
what he calls "Ethno-Politics." "Max Weber as Historian of
Agriculture and Rural Life" is a masterpiece of exegesis and
comparative inquiry. The final essay, "Max Weber: His Religious and
Ethical Background and Development," acts as a minor corrective and
addendum to Marianne Weber's biography. The book concludes with
Honigsheim's reminiscences of the Weber circle. Interest in the
work and person of Max Weber grows with each year. From his
writings the reader may glean the finer shades and contours of
thoughts that arise from private exchanges between Honigsheim and
Max Weber. This volume will interest a broad spectrum of social
scientists.
