Edited and introduced by Alan Sica. 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.
