Max Weber and Karl Marx cover

First Published in 2004. Lowith's study of Max Weber and Karl Marx is a key text in modem interpretations of the theme of alienation in Marxist theory and rationalisation in Weber's sociology. It remains the best short student introduction to the differences and comparisons between these essential thinkers. This new edition includes a Preface by Professor Bryan S. Turner which demonstrates the relevance of the book for contemporary sociology.

`Lowith's essay is brilliant and it is a sign of something that we have had to wait half a century for its' translation' - The British Journal of Sociology

`The publication of this English translation of Max Weber and Karl Marx is a major event, particularly for those who seek to understand "the characteristic uniqueness of the reality in which we move"' - Sociological Review
