About this book

This book offers a unique and accessible way of conceptualizing the vocations of art, science, and politics in the capitalist world through an examination of some neglected features of the work of the scholar who first traced their origins and consequences in 'the West': Max Weber.

Reviews

“Anyone who is interested in Max Weber as a person and a scholar should read K.’s provocative and fascinating book.” (Christopher Adair-Toteff, Theological Studies, Vol. 77 (1), 2016)
