Rezensionen

'The publication of an updated version of Bruun's Science, Values and Politics in Max Weber's Methodology is an important event not only in Weber scholarship but in the understanding of twentieth century thought. His care in explicating the many complex issues about the philosophical implications of Weber's views made this book indispensable for serious students of Weber. Weber's significance has now been recognized by a much larger audience: this excellent revision should be its guide.' Stephen Turner, University of South Florida, USA 'This extensively revised and updated version of the original work is well-referenced and includes a nine-page bibliography of secondary sources.'
