Description: The Iron Cage by Catherine Ross, Arthur Mitzman Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This major study of the father of modern sociology explores the intimate relationship between the events of Max Webers personal history and the development of his thought Publisher Description This major study of the father of modern sociology explores the intimate relationship between the events of Max Webers personal history and the development of his thought. When it was first published in 1970, Paul Roazen described The Iron Cage as "an example of the history of ideas at its very best"; while Robert A. Nisbet said that "we learn more about Webers life in this volume than from any other in the English language."Webers life and work developed in reaction to the rigidities of familial and social structures in Imperial Germany. In his youth he was torn by irreconcilable tensions between the Bismarckian authoritarianism of his father and the ethical puritanism of his mother. These tensions led to a psychic crisis when, in his thirties, he expelled his father (who died soon thereafter) from his house. His reaction to the collapse of the European social order before and during World War I was no less personal and profound. It is the triumph of Professor Mitzmans approach that he convincingly demonstrates how the internalizing of these severe experiences led to Webers pessimistic vision of the future as an "iron cage" and to such seminal ideas as the notion of charisma and the concept of the Protestant ethic and its connection with the spirit of capitalism. The authors thesis also serves as a vehicle for describing the social, political, and personal plight of the European bourgeois intellectual of Webers generation.In synthesizing Webers life and thought, Arthur Mitzman has expanded and refined our understanding of this central twentieth-century figure. As Lewis Coser writes in the preface, until now "there has been little attempt to bring together the work and the man, to show the ways in which Webers cognitive intentions, his choice of problems, were linked with the details of his personal biography. Arthur Mitzman fills this gap brilliantly."
