3.0 out of 5 stars
well written, but lacks adequate stressing of disenchantment,
By vincas@chickmail.com (vilnius, lithuania) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Max Weber: A Skeleton Key (The Masters of Sociological Theory) (Paperback)
pleasantly written. offers psychoanalytic insight into the causes of weber's breakdown. does not stress processes of formal rationalization and subsequent disenchantment enough!
