  • Max Weber: The Lawyer as Social Thinker

    Stephen P Turner, Gianfranco Poggi et al.BOOKMax Weber2020Cited by: 21

    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…

  • The nation-state

    Gianfranco PoggiBOOKComparative Politics2017

    This chapter examines how the nation-state came into being and how it became dominant as a political unit. It first presents a general and streamlined portrait of the state — a concept that sociologists inspired by Max Weber might call an ideal type. In particular, it considers some of the characteristics of a nation-state, including monopoly of legitimate violence, territoriality, sovereignty, plurality, and relation to the population. The chapt…

  • Political power un-manned: A defence of the Holy Trinity from Mann's military attack

    Open AccessGianfranco PoggiCHAPTERAnatomy of Power2006

    This brief contribution addresses only one of the problems raised by Michael Mann's imaginative and substantial discussion of the military phenomenon in his magnum opus (Mann 1986; 1993). The problem concerns the conceptual status Mann confers upon that phenomenon by considering it as the locus of a distinctive, relatively self-standing source of social power, on which it falls occasionally to play an autonomous role in the making and unmaking of…

  • Land and Lordship: Structures of Governance in Medieval Austria

    Gianfranco Poggi, Otto Brunner et al.ARTICLEContemporary Sociology A Journal…1994

    Otto Brunner contends that prevailing notions of medieval social and constitutional history had been shaped by the nineteenth-century nation and its liberal order. Whereas a sharp distinction between the public and the private might be appropriate to descriptions of contemporary society, such a dichotomy could not be projected back onto the Middle Ages. Focusing particularly on forms of lordship in late medieval Austria, Brunner found neither a s…

  • Money and the Modern Mind: Georg Simmel's Philosophy of Money

    Gianfranco PoggiBOOKMoney and the Modern Mind1993

    A major representative of the German sociological tradition, Georg Simmel (1858-1918) has influenced social thinkers ranging from the Chicago School to Walter Benjamin. His magnum opus, The Philosophy of Money, published in 1900, is nevertheless a difficult book that has daunted many would-be readers. Gianfranco Poggi makes this important work accessible to a broader range of scholars and students, offering a compact and systematically organized …

  • Weber's Protestant Ethic: Origins, Evidence, Contexts

    Open AccessHenri Lehmann, Christof Mauch et al.BOOKWeber's Protestant Ethic1993Cited by: 14

    The historical relationship between Protestantism, capitalism, and democracy remains one of the most controversial intellectual themes of out time. Max Weber's famous thesis about the link between the 'Protestant ethic' and the 'spirit of capitalism' and its dissolution in his own era has been both widely acclaimed and heatedly disputed since its publication in 1904–5. This volume, the result of an international, interdisciplinary effort, throws …

  • On the Limits to the Capacity of the Constitutional Straitjacket: [Commentary]

    Open AccessGianfranco PoggiARTICLELaw & Social Inquiry1991

    As I write these comments on Professor Griffin's Bringing the State into Constitutional Theory, the events unfolding day by day in what used to be called the Soviet Union are reminding me of the widely held view that a country that extends east to west across ten time zones and ranges from 79 to 37 degrees north, whether one likes it or not, could only be viable as a unit if it was held together by a despotic political system, be it Tsarist autoc…
