This book contains highly original essays on the sweep of Western
civilization from the middle ages to the present, including such
topics as conscience and usury, "probabilism" in science and
theology, systems of spiritual direction, Max Weber and economic
development. The author and editor explore issues in the
comparative history of science and the riveting question of why
modern science arose only in the West and not in China or the
Muslim world. It is a continuation of the challenging
civilizational agenda set out by Max Weber's writings on the world
religions, including the fate and vicissitudes of the Protestant
Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism. Nelson had much to say about
processes of universalization, now studied as globalization.
