جزییات کتاب
Fully conversant with recent scholarly work on Marx and Weber, this comprehensive re-examination of the points of convergence and departure in their work requires us to re-evaluate both their positions in the history of sociology and their relevance to contemporary social questions. As such, it will appeal to scholars of social and political theory and classical sociology.
Review
'Sociology remains Orientalistic in that the knowing subjects continue to be the authors of the canonical works of Western social science such as Marx and Weber. Re-examining their writings and locating them in their proper place in the history of sociology, this is an important contribution to rescuing social theory from potential irrelevance by separating out what is sound and valuable from what is Orientalistic.'Syed Farid Alatas, National University of Singapore, Singapore'Lutfi Sunar reminds us of the extent to which contemporary ideas of modernity, and therefore current ideas of "alternative modernities" as well, are derived from the writings of Marx and Weber. Sunar's book suggests that we urgently need to rethink the idea of modernity itself, wherever it may have occurred. Essential reading for Marx and Weber studies, as well as for anyone concerned with the history and theory of modernity.'Robert J. Young, New York University, USA
