Michael Symonds

Max Weber's Theory of Modernity (eBook, PDF)

The Endless Pursuit of Meaning

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Weber's theory of meaning and modernity is articulated through an understanding of his account of the way in which the pursuit of meaning in the modern world has been shaped by the loss of Western religion and how such pursuit gives sense to the phenomena of human suffering and death. Through a close, scholarly reading of Weber's extensive writings and Vocation Lectures, the author explores the concepts of 'paradox' and 'brotherliness' as found in Weber's work, in order to offer an original exposition of Weber's actual theory of how meaning and meaninglessness work in the modern world.
