The Methodology of the Social Sciences

Weber, Max; Edward A. Shils and Henry A. Finch (Translated and Edited by); Edward A. Shils (Foreword by). The Methodology of the Social Sciences. Glencoe, Illinois: The Free Press, 1949. First American edition. Octavo. XVII, [1], 188pp. Original printed wrappers over green cloth with gold lettering on spine. The three essays here translated reveal an aspect of Max Weber’s thought which has not yet been presented at first hand to the English-speaking public. In addition to his preeminence as a scholar of universal scope and as a fertile and systematic sociological theorist, Weber was perhaps the greatest modern writer on the methodology of the social sciences. Minor creasing and tiny chipping along edges of wrappers. Wraps in overall good- to good, binding and interior in very good condition. vg. Softcover. (31245) $60
