Sara R. Farris examines the calls for gender equality from an unlikely collection of European right-wing nationalist political parties, neoliberals, and some feminist theorists and policymakers, showing how their exploitation of feminist ideals justifies anti-Islam and anti-immigrant rhetoric and policies.
Max Weber's writings in The Sociology of Religion are today acknowledged as a classic of the social sciences. They are key texts for understanding Weber’s central sociological concepts concerning Western and Eastern ‘civilizations,' and, according to this book rely on a deeply flawed and essentially orientalist concept of personality.
Providing a detailed reconstruction of the concept of personality within Weber's systematic studies of world religions, this book shows its complex development within three related problematics associated with Weber's influential comparative historical sociology – individuation, politics and orientalism.
