Science, Values and Politics

[Dave Monroe]

Bruun, Hans Henrik, ed.  Science, Values and Politics
   in Max Weber's Methodology.  Rev. ed.
   Burlington, VT: Ashgate, 2007 [1972].

First published in 1972, this book on Weber's
methodological writings is today regarded as a modern
classic in its field. In this new expanded edition,
the author has revised and updated the original text,
and translated the numerous German quotations into
English. He has also added a new introduction, where
he discusses major issues raised in the relevant
secondary literature since 1972.

The author traces the relationship between values and
science in Max Weber's methodology of its central
aspects: value freedom, value relation
(Wertbeziehung), value analysis, the ideal type and
the special problems which pertain to the sphere of
politics. Weber's thought is presented and discussed
on the basis of a meticulous analysis of all
available, published or unpublished, original
material.

The book is indispensable for all serious Weber
scholars and provides the general student with a
clear, accessible and authoritative exposition of
major aspects of Weber's methodology.
