Love Or Greatness (Routledge Revivals) - Max Weber and Masculine Thinking

Zusatztext 'This is a challenging, well-written synthesis of the best of feminist thought and political and cultural critique. It will interest scholars of Weber, political science, or sociology, and feminists.' - J. L. Croissant, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institution Informationen zum Autor Roslyn Bologh Klappentext This work, first published in 1990, reissues the first thorough examination of the essentially masculine nature of Max Weber's social and political thinking. Through a detailed examination of his central texts, the author demonstrates Weber's masculine reading of 'social life' and shows how his work advocates a masculine form of life that poses a challenge to contemporary women and to feminism. In particular, she addresses the patriarchal implications of Weber's belief in the need to relegate the ethic of brotherly love to a private sphere in order to make possible rational action and the achievement of greatness in the public sphere. Zusammenfassung Presents an examination of the essentially masculine nature of Max Weber's social and political thinking. This title demonstrates Weber's masculine reading of 'social life' and shows how his work advocates a masculine form of life that poses a challenge to contemporary women and to feminism.
