In an effort to show that Max Weber has as much to say about the upcoming century as about those which preceded it, Sica offers a guide to certain aspects of Weber's thinking that theorists at all levels will find useful. Readers already familiar with Weber's work will be able to consult a comprehensive, 2550-item bibliography of works in English that bear on Weber himself or use his ideas toward some fresh analytic end. Additionally, Sica demonstrates Weber's preeminent position in social thought and lasting vitality by avoiding the standard topics of exegesis to highlight questions of contemporary interest to experts and novices alike.Whatever one's approach to questions posed by postmodernity, globalization, the feminist intellectual revolution, and related matters, this book argues that Weber - the scholar as much as the ideas - continues to serve as the foundation for all properly grounded social and cultural analysis.
