I keep putting off reading weber, is this a mistake? I've heard his political works are very enlightened.

My girlfriend is super interested in this guy. What book of his should I get her? She's been showing an interest in sociology lately.

Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism is his most important/famous/influential.

>> No.6131434

Depends on what she's interested in. Protestant Ethics is the most famous one, but you might also try with some writings about methodological individualism. The latter can be very technical though, but they are more important in relation to the core of sociology.

Who says she's even literate? Weber's basic ideas are reiterated in every Intro to Sociology course in America from high school on through college.

>> No.6131451

>>6131434
I feel she would be more interested in methodological individualism. Which collection should I look out for?

>> No.6131468

On the Methodology of Social Sciences

Which is it, /lit/? They can't both be right, can they?

Mutual influence makes most sense and it is questionable to which degree you can separate those two realms.

Simmel made somewhere a funny critique of that part of Marx, though I doubt I'll find it now.

Simmel is the one founder of sociology that has stood the test of time. His writing is also superb.

In Spanish is called "El Político y el científico" / "The politician and the scientist". A recompilation of two conferences; Science as a vocation and Politics as a vocation.
