Bemerkung:

Sehr gutes Exemplar. - Englisch. - ... "Ringer locates the weighty methodological, epistemological, and intellectual issues raised in Weber's philosophy of social science more fully in the context of German academic life in the Wilhelmian era than any previous work in English. Beyond this, he casts enormous light on the issues themselves, drawing comprehensively and critically on hermeneutic sociology, the analytic philosophy of action, the debate over explanation in history, and even legal theory. This is a brief but invaluable book for scholars in both the social sciences and the humanities." - Dennis H. Wong, NY University ...
