Reader comments
Max Weber is a name that is often mentioned in modern social thought. He is an authoritative sociologist and thinker with a few words, but most people know very little about his life. Through this book, we can understand his life and personality, the era and background in which he grew up. For example, he was born in a wealthy family. He was exposed to good education and many liberal politicians and professors since he was a child, which had a great influence on his thoughts. Through this, I can't help but sigh that indeed many successful people may have a foundation that is completely beyond the reach of ordinary people.
After reading this book, I couldn't help but wonder whether people named Marx were so great. Karl Marx, whom we are familiar with, is the mentor and spiritual leader of the proletariat, and the Marx in the book is also very powerful and is one of the founders of modern society. Without the struggle and efforts of these great men, there might not be so many outstanding ideas. They have laid a solid foundation for our modern life. It is necessary to understand the lives and thoughts of these great men. It is recommended that young people read more such books to broaden their horizons and ideas.
I had never known Weber before, and I believe many people didn't know it either. Because my reading list turned to sociology, I happened to know this book. In his early days as a lawyer, Weber did general research on the sociology of religion in his books. Weber's typology of dominance and exposition of legal sociology reminded me of "A Brief History of Mankind". In my opinion, what I think the two books have in common is thinking from a macro sociological perspective. This book is very durable and requires a lot of preliminary reading to fully understand it.
