Max Weber is best known as one of the founders of modern
sociology and the author of the Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of
Capitalism, but he also made important contributions to modern
political and democratic theory. In Democracy and the Political in
Max Weber's Thought, Terry Maley explores, through a detailed
analysis of Weber's writings, the intersection of recent work on
Weber and on democratic theory, bridging the gap between these two
rapidly expanding areas of scholarship.Maley critically examines
how Weber's realist 'model' of democracy defines and constrains the
possibilities for democratic agency in modern liberal-democracies.
Maley also looks at how ideas of historical time and memory are
constructed in his writings on religion, bureaucracy, and the
social sciences. Democracy and the Political in Max Weber's Thought
is both an accessible introduction to Weber's political thought and
a spirited defense of its continued relevance to debates on
democracy.
