Max Weber was a vehement nationalist all his public life, from his Freiburg Inaugural Address and other writings of the 1890s to his political speeches of the First World War. I wish to explore a paradox that emerges from his scholarly writings, above all The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism: The advocate of German political and cultural hegemony radically undermined his era's conventional definitions of nationhood. Neither linguistic nor ethnic nor racial categories had more than marginal significance for Weber's understanding of national identity, which he defined in critical opposition to them
