What were his dreams, desires and designs? What relationship existed between his life, his illness and his work? Why are his studies of capitalism and China still so important today? \u003cp\u003eThis book throws light on a problem-riddled Weber, a man lacerated by tragic contradictions, a great intellectual, nationalistic yet cosmopolitan. This investigation of his private life reveals a tender, impassioned man, who, at a time of overwhelming conflict, sought true life in love. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether Confucianism impeded the birth of modern capitalism in China remains a controversial issue. Equally problematic is the theory of the Calvinistic origins of European capitalism. Weber, however, answers both questions in an original manner, while also providing a lesson in methodology which remains unparalleled to date. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA century after his death, Max Weber remains a controversial figure of the political and social sciences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vittorio Cotesta\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1527506207\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781527506206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge Scholars Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/16\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 229\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.90w x 0.70d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vittorio Cotesta","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48623144435967,"sku":"9781527506206","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/max-weber-on-china-vittorio-cotesta-9781527506206","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
