Max Weber Livres

Max Weber décrit le grand bouleversement des Temps modernes, la transformation dans les mentalités du rapport à l'argent et à la fortune. Aux consciences médiévales marquées par la parole évangélique selon laquelle " il est plus aisé pour un chameau de passer le chas d'une aiguille que pour un riche d'entrer dans le royaume de Dieu " (Marc, x, 25), le protestantisme affirme que l'homme est sur terre pour se livrer à des œuvres terrestres, et que le succès de ses entreprises est le signe de la grâce divine. L'essor du capitalisme se fonde sur cette révolution des esprits, engendrée par la tourmente luthérienne. Max Weber est le premier à donner une explication spécifique de l'essor du capitalisme. A travers cette magistrale leçon de sociologie, il éclaire d'un jour nouveau notre civilisation.

Nouvelle traduction d'un texte classique de la sociologie politique, la première traduction française remontant à 1959. Pour étudier les figures du savant et de l'homme politique, Weber conjugue une approche historico-sociologique, attentive aux conditions concrètes d'exercice de chacune des professions considérées, et une interrogation éthique sur le sens que peuvent avoir l'une ou l'autre.

In Zero-Day Rising, the third book of the BetterWorld trilogy, Kiyoko is tired of hiding and grieving, and has decided to strike back. In the first volume of the critically acclaimed BetterWorld cyberpunk trilogy, Kiyoko's older sister Waylee and their hacktivist friends exposed a conspiracy between MediaCorp and U.S. President Rand to control the flow of information and run the world on behalf of a cabal of billionaires. In volume two, Waylee faced life imprisonment, while Kiyoko and her friends were hunted by a team of ruthless mercenaries. In Zero-Day Rising, Kiyoko resolves to free her sister and bring down President Rand and MediaCorp. However, MediaCorp unleashes its ultimate plan: direct mind control with cerebral implants. Can Kiyoko and Waylee's team stop them? Can they penetrate MediaCorp's networks and end the company's grip over humanity? All while eluding the biggest manhunt in history, in a country where everyone and everything is under surveillance?

One of Weber's most important books and is a landmark work in the history of economic thought.

Max Weber's Economy and Society is a seminal sociological work published posthumously in the early 1920s, significantly shaping modern sociological thought. It offers an empirical comparison of social structures and normative orders across history, featuring essential chapters on social action, religion, law, bureaucracy, charisma, urban life, and political community, examining class, status, and power dynamics. Intended as an introduction for a general audience, it stands as a demanding textbook due to its precise definitions, complex typologies, and rich historical context, challenging readers at various levels—from advanced undergraduates to seasoned scholars. The first complete English edition released in 1968 was met with acclaim, with Arthur Stinchcombe affirming its importance for sociological intellectual development. Reinhard Bendix highlighted the edition's role in bridging cultural transmission to the American context, positioning it as a vital resource for historical sociology and comparative studies. Guenther Roth's extensive introduction explores the intellectual background, dominant themes, and internal logic of the work. Roth is a Sociology Professor at Columbia University, while co-editor Wittich leads an economic research group at the United Nations.
