Routledge International Handbook of Contemporary Social and Political Theory
Epilogue
Max Weber gave “sociological” historical explanations and constructed sociological categories, and wrote critically on questions of “methodology.” But he did not erect an ideal social science to which he urged others to aspire. He considered the limitations and prospects of the social science he himself practiced to coincide with the limitations of the possibility of social science, and sought in his methodological writings to understand these li…
Interests and Ideals
“Interests” constituted, for both Ihering and Max Weber, a level of explanation that was prior to and distinct from the level of intention. But they disagreed about the contents of the category and in particular about the way in which interests arise. The key to the difference is in their divergent conceptions of ideal interests. The conceptual consequence of admitting the validity of collective interests (such as the interest of society) is that…
Cause
This chapter provides an account of the concepts of adequate cause and objective possibility, based for the most part on clues and citations which Max Weber himself provides. The dominant jurisprudential theory of cause prior to the theory of adequate cause was the von Buri-von Bar theory. It held that responsibility attached to those actions that were necessary conditions of a harmful result. The benefit Weber receives as a result of the substit…
Authority
The phenomena of legal order appear first in Max Weber’s categorization scheme under the heading “uniformities of action” as a type of uniformity parallel to “usage.” But Weber’s classification is itself confusing, precisely because of Weber’s attempt to integrate the concept of validity into the scheme. The two basic types of order are convention and law. Weber distinguishes them in terms of the causes that externally guarantee their legitimacy,…
Abstraction
The problems of abstraction in the law were distinctive, and had a distinctive history quite unlike that of natural science. At the root of the discipline of legal science itself was the practice of abstraction that was distinctive to civil law. Max Weber had a great deal to say about the processes of legal rationalization, about the role of maxims and casuistics, and about abstraction in the law. His discussions of abstraction relate broadly, bu…
Common Starting Points
The idea of law as a world constituting system of concepts is a product of a changed view of the character of “reason” and “fact” that resulted from the appropriation of Kant in the nineteenth century by the neo-Kantians. The idea that many intellectual disputes were in fact rationally undecidable “conflicts of systems” or conflicts of fundamental presuppositions is the primary legacy of neo-Kantianism. The traditional “social theoretical” approa…
The Commands of Morality
The idea of the power of customary morality or moral attitudes exemplifies the problem of the nature of morality. The point of formalism was to avoid a certain kind of reasoning, exemplified by F. Nietzsche’s early formulations, in which the universal claims of morality were reduced to the status of local custom, and custom to tradition, on genealogical grounds. Nietzsche claimed that Morality is nothing other than obedience to customs, of whatev…
Max Weber
This book is the first account of the way in which Weber appropriated and modified sources in the legal tradition, in which he was trained, to construct his sociology. It leads directly to a new understanding of Weber's intent and his relations to the tradition of social and political theory. the book takes the reader into the heart of Weber's conceptualizations of action and social science, without ever giving the impression that these are raref…

Sage Handbook of Political Sociology
A comprehensive handbook that attempts to cover the whole field of topics that a reader interested primarily in actual politics needs to understand. This would include some literatures that flourish primarily outside of sociology (and particularly outside of American sociology) as well as some topics, such as clientelism and community power, that have become less active research topics but which nevertheless are important parts of a comprehensive…

Religion and British Sociology
Understanding the role of religion in early British sociology, as well as its fate in later sociology, requires a variety of perspectives: one is intellectual and concerns the various forms that the topic of religion took for British sociology. Another is organisational and ecological. British sociology as embodied in the Sociological Society was a part of a vast array of organisations that were part of a massive movement of social reform, intern…
Sociological Theory in Transition (RLE Social Theory)
Current sociological theories appear to have lost their general persuasiveness in part because, unlike the theories of the ‘classical era’, they fail to maintain an integrated stance toward society, and the practical role that sociology plays in society. The authors explore various facets of this failure and possibilities for reconstructing sociological theories as integrated wholes capable of conveying a moral and political immediacy. They discu…

American Sociology has changed radically since 1945. This volume traces these changes to the present, with special emphasis on the feminization of sociology and the decline of the science ideal as well as the challenges sociology faces in the new environment for universities

De-intellectualizing American sociology
Sociology once debated 'the social' and did so with a public readership. Even as late as the Second World War, sociologists commanded a wide public on questions about the nature of society, altruism and the direction of social evolution. As a result of several waves of professionalization, however, these issues have vanished from academic sociology and from the public writings of sociologists. From the 1960s onwards sociologists instead wrote for…

The impossible science
A radical revision of the conventional history of American sociology, this book rejects both "triumphalism" and the "successful institutionalization" model, as well as the conventional "Chicago-centered" image of its early history.

Mirror Neurons and Practices
Lizardo argues that The Social Theory of Practices is refuted by the discovery of mirror neurons. The book argues that the kind of sameness of tacit mental content assumed by practice theorists such as Bourdieu is fictional, because there is no actual process by which the same mental content can be transmitted. Mirror neurons, Lizardo claims, provide such a mechanism, as they imply that bodily automatisms, which can be understood as the basis of …

Weber on Action
Weber's writings on action and the explanation of action do not present a particularly coherent view. In his earlier writings, from 1903-1907, he is under the sway of a juristic conception of cause based on the probability doctrines of von Kries, and this is reflected in his writings on action, which de-emphasize problems of interpretation and stress the analytic uses of methods of causal analysis. In the Logos essay, problems of interpretation a…

Blau's studies of size and differentiation and heterogeneity and inequality are paradigmatic of empirical literature which has developed around this image of theory, but general conception, of laws relating basic variables conceived at a high level of abstraction holding in a wide range of distinct empirical situations, has captured imagination of other theorists as well, notably sc…

Blau's Theory of Differentiation
This paper examines Blau's recent attempt to construct a deductive theoretical explanation of structural differentiation in formal organizations. Blau claims that certain generalizations are explanatory, and cites certain philosophers in support of this claim. A closer examination of these philosophers' views shows the resemblance between these generalizations and explanatory scientific generalizations to be only superficial. They can be better u…

Weber's influence in Weimar Germany
The thesis that Weber was without influence in Weimar Germany is examined. It is shown that in contemporary published assessments and in private statements in interviews contemporary sociologists regarded him as important. The many dissertations on Weber and the enormous secondary literature are noted. This literature, which was contributed by some of the best minds of the day, included both the philosophical and sociological aspects of Weber's w…
