In The Limits of Rationality, Rogers Brubaker explores the intimate
and ambiguous interplay between Max Weber's empirical work and his
moral vision, between his historical and sociological analysis of
the 'specific and peculiar rationalism' of modern Western
civilization and his deeply ambivalent moral response to that
rationalism. Weber's ideas about rationality are central to his
sociological work, and they are central to his moral perspective.
But, these ideas are neither easily accessible nor easily
understandable, in part because Weber never systematized them, in
part because his work is usually encountered piecemeal and seldom
studied in its entirety. Brubaker reconstructs Weber's rich but
fragmented discussion of rationalism and rationalization in a
systematic fashion, thereby illuminating his empirical and moral
diagnosis of modernity - a diagnosis that remains unsurpassed in
pathos and anyalytical power. This book was first published in
1984.
