Cahnman brings together out of scattered dispersion his writings about Max Weber, Ferdinand Toennies, and historical sociology. The great theoretical range and depth of his intellect and mastery of sociological thinking is apparent as he discusses the impact of romanticism on modern thought, and how Weber and Toennies both analysed and reacted to modernity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCahnman places Weber (1864-1920), the dominant figure in twentieth-century sociology, in the midst of the methodological controversies so characteristic of contemporary social science, and he fully discusses the overarching importance of Weberian ideal-type theory. Although less well-known than Weber, Toennies (1855-1936) was also a sociologist of the first rank. He is best remembered for his enormously influential twin concepts, \u003cem\u003eGemeinschaft\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eGesellschaft\u003c\/em\u003e, which contributed to our understanding of the historical and sociological basis for the change from \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart I Perspectives on Max Weber\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 Max Weber and the Methodological Controversy in the Social Sciences\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2 Ideal-Type Theory: Max Weber's Concept and Some of Its Derivations\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e3 Notes on The Sociology of Religion by Max Weber\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e4 A Review: Mitzman's Iron Cage\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart II Comparative Approach to Toennies\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e5 Toennies and Marx: Evaluation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e6 Toennies and Spencer: Evaluation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e7 Toennies and Weber: Comparison\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e8 Toennies and Durkheim\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e9 Toennies and Social Change\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e10 Toennies, Durkheim, and Weber\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e11 Toennies in America\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e12 A Research Note on Phenomenology and Symbolic Interactionism\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart III Essays in Historical Sociology Pure, Applied, and Empirical\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e13 Historical Sociology: What It Is and What It Is Not\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e14 Vico and Historical Sociology\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e15 Starting Points in Sociology: Hobbes, Toennies, Vico\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e16 The Historical Sociology of Cities: A Critical Review\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e17 How Cities Grew . . .\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e18 The Rise of Civilization as a Paradigm of Social Change\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart IV Religion, Race, and Ethnicity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e19 Religion and Nationality\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e20 Adolph Fischhof and the Problem of the Reconciliation of Nationalities\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e21 Nature and Varieties of Ethnicity\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e22 The Mediterranean and Caribbean Regions: A Comparison in Race and Culture Contacts\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAppendix: Rudolf Hess; or, An Introduction to the Emergence of German Geopolitics: An Autobiographical Account\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51019813388631,"sku":"9781412857086","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781412857086.jpg?v=1750781340","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/weber-and-toennies-9781412857086","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
