Costellazione Max Weber

Overview & Synopsis

This volume, dedicated to Edoardo Massimilla on his 60th birthday, aims to contribute to the reconstruction of the reception and "refraction" of Max Weber's work in European philosophical culture. This historiographical study seeks to address the complexity of the issues and problems touched by Weber's reflections-from important methodological questions to polemics on science and politics as a profession, from the sociology of rationalization to the polytheism of values-and to assess their strong influence on twentieth-century philosophies. The volume also aims to examine the dense network of sources and interlocutors of Weber's thought by drawing a representative picture of its historical-problematic genesis.
