Comparison and causal explanation
Since the classical authors of the nineteenth century, the explanation of macro‐social phenomena has been considered as the essential epistemic achievement, hence the raison d’être, of comparative analysis in the social sciences. In practice, however, the claims of comparative social enquiry for providing convincing explanations are not easily kept. Their realization depends upon quasi‐ontological understandings of causation, and on varying conce…

La segmentation des systèmes d'enseignement
La segmentation désigne la subdivision des systèmes d'enseignement en écoles et programmes parallèles se distinguant à la fois par les cursus et l'origine sociale de leurs élèves. Elle affecte de façon cruciale la définition des rôles sociaux liée aux différences d'éducation. La comparaison des transformations des systèmes d'enseignement prussien et français entre 1865 et 1920 permet d'étudier les implications sociales de la subdivision de l'ense…
Max Weber's Liberalism
There are a variety of possible approaches to Weber's political thought. One can emphasize his class-conscious attack upon the new East Elbian agrarian capitalists, or his commitment to a politics of responsibility, in which the probable consequences of political proposals are explicitly assessed and announced. Wolfgang Mommsen has focused upon Weber's nationalism, almost to the exclusion of other aspects of his work. Jürgen Habermas has suggeste…
Max Weber on Causal Analysis, Interpretation, and Comparison
Max Weber's methodological writings offered a model of singular causal analysis that anticipated key elements of contemporary Anglo-American philosophy of the social and cultural sciences. The model accurately portrayed crucial steps and dimensions of causal reasoning in these disciplines, outlining a dynamic and probabilistic conception of historical processes, counterfactual reasoning, and comparison as a substitute for counterfactual argument.…

Education and Citizenship
The author looks at education debates on the enrollment increases in secondary education in Germany and France around 1900. In Germany, the theory of ‘Bildung’ was deployed against the threat of meritocratic reform, while in France educationists pleaded for a reform in the ‘spirit of the Revolution’. So the idea of modern democratic citizenship was much more explicitly a concept of French than of German reformers. The latter pleaded for ‘natural …
Fields of Knowledge
Focuses on the outlooks of French academic historians and scientists during the decades around 1900 and compares French visions of higher education and science with their contemporary German counterparts
A Sociography of German Academics, 1863–1938
During the 1950s, a team of Göttingen sociologists led by Helmut Plessner undertook a systematic survey of all faculty who taught at German university-level institutions during one or more of eleven selected sample years between 1864 and 1953. Drawing upon university catalogues ( Vorlesungsverzeichnisse ), scholarly handbooks ( Minerva, Kürschners , Poggendorfs), and a variety of encyclopedias, members of the Göttingen group collected biographica…
