Max Weber Studies is published twice a year
in January and July.
ISSN: 1470-8078
Current issue: Joint issue of 5.2 and 6.1 (Spring 2006)
The journal is committed to the application
and dissemination of the ideas of Max Weber. Against a backdrop
of the demise of Marxism, the so-called end of history, and
the introspection of postmodernism, Max Weber Studies seeks
an engagement with the fundamental issues in the social and
historical sciences: the dilemmas of life-conduct and vocation
in the contemporary world, the tracking of rationalization
processes and their impact, disenchantment and the return
of magic, the 'uniqueness of the West' and multiple modernities,
the analysis of the stratification of power and its modalities,
and the validity of an interpretative science of social reality.
The journal asserts the continuing place of Weber in the conversation
of both classical and contemporary social and cultural theory.
The journal is an indispensable source for
the translation of new Weber texts and the publication of
unpublished correspondence. It offers extensive reviews of
every new volume published by the Max Weber Gesamtausgabe
and analyses the emerging work-history of Weber's writings.
It is very much interested in milieu analysis of European
intellectual thought 1880-1920, in particular movements of
social reform, the women's movement, cultural currents, family
history, the universities, and politics both nationally and
internationally. The journal also undertakes the reflexive
analysis of the reception of Max Weber in different language
communities.
The journal is interdisciplinary and welcomes
articles in the fields of sociology, social theory, organizational
theory, economic sociology, historical sociology, religious
and cultural analysis, ethics, methodology, intellectual history,
and civilizational analysis.
