This volume examines civilizations through the broad lens
articulated by the works of Max Weber. In focusing upon his
comparative-historical mode of analysis and his causal explanations
for the sources, contours, and trajectories of civilizations, this
study reconstructs Weber's sociology in a manner that provides
clear guidelines to researchers seeking to investigate
civilizations systematically. Through detailed interpretations of
the West's unique development from Antiquity to the Modern era,
precise comparisons to the long-range and singular pathways taken
by China and India, and careful demarcations of the "particular
rationalisms" of several civilizations, the author addresses
Weber's powerful model-building on the one hand and his opposition
to organic holism and structural presuppositions on the other hand.
Both a broad-ranging conceptual framework and case-based empirical
investigations are pivotal to Weber. His research strategy
emphasizes further the "subjective meanings" of actors East and
West and the deep cultural origins of groups. Finally, this volume
masterfully conveys Weber's contextual and multi-causal methodology
rooted in a tight interweaving of the present with the past. Max
Weber's Sociology of Civilizations: A Reconstruction will appeal to
comparative sociologists and historians, as well as to theorists of
all persuasions. The social scientist pursuing a
cross-civilizational agenda will here discover the distinct
contribution of Weber's "interpretive understanding" procedures to
the now-essential field of civilizational analysis.
