Description

This work, first published in 1990, reissues the first thorough examination of the essentially masculine nature of Max Weber's social and political thinking. Through a detailed examination of his central texts, the author demonstrates Weber's masculine reading of 'social life' and shows how his work advocates a masculine form of life that poses a challenge to contemporary women and to feminism. In particular, she addresses the patriarchal implications of Weber's belief in the need to relegate the ethic of brotherly love to a private sphere in order to make possible rational action and the achievement of greatness in the public sphere.

Reviews

'This is a challenging, well-written synthesis of the best of feminist thought and political and cultural critique. It will interest scholars of Weber, political science, or sociology, and feminists.' - J. L. Croissant, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institution
