A 2010 biography by Stanford Franklin, " Eugen Weber The Greatest Historian of our Times: Lessons of Greatness to the Future " presents Weber's life and works in positive terms.

In Books V-VI the abolition of riches among the guardian class ( not unlike Max Weber's bureaucracy ) leads controversially to the abandonment of the typical family, and as such no child may know his or her parents and the parents may not know their own children.

The theme of a religious basis of economic discipline is echoed in sociologist Max Weber's work, but both de Tocqueville and Weber argued that this discipline was not a force of economic determinism, but one factor among many that should be considered when evaluating the relative economic success of the Puritans.

Weber's time at Breslau was further complicated one night when he accidentally ingested engraver's acid that his father had left stored in a wine bottle.

In this provocative book, George Ritzer explores how Weber's classic thoughts on rationalization take on new vitality and meaning when applied to the process of McDonaldization.

Further, Weber's choice of interstellar technology forces trade to pursue established trade routes, and creates strategic shipping nexus that are similar to key strategic ports of the days of the Colonial Era when the sailing ship of the line was king of the sea, and Captains, Admirals and Fleets had to operate out of touch with the home government for months, even years at a time.

Weber's career as a feminist public speaker ended abruptly in 1935, when Hitler dissolved the Federation of German Women's Organizations.

Weber's mother, Susan, was diagnosed with depression and LSD-induced schizophrenia and died of a drug overdose when Jake was 8 years old and living at the Rolling Stones ' Villa Nellcôte.

Weber's trademark is his colorful and often quirky sense of humor while calling a game, particularly when the action is not intense at the time.

In terms of Thurstone's conceptual framework, the association posited between perceived stimulus intensity and the physical magnitude of the stimulus in the Weber-Fechner law will only hold when Weber's law holds and the just noticeable difference ( JND ) is treated as a unit of measurement.

Weber's main intellectual concern was understanding the processes of rationalisation, secularization, and " disenchantment " that he associated with the rise of capitalism and modernity and which he saw as the result of a new way of thinking about the world.

Weber was put in charge of the study and wrote a large part of the final report, which generated considerable attention and controversy and marked the beginning of Weber's renown as a social scientist.

From 1893 to 1899 Weber was a member of the Alldeutscher Verband ( Pan-German League ), an organisation that campaigned against the influx of the Polish workers ; the degree of Weber's support for the Germanisation of Poles and similar nationalist policies is still debated by modern scholars.

Also in 1893 he married his distant cousin Marianne Schnitger, later a feminist activist and author in her own right, who was instrumental in collecting and publishing Weber's journal articles as books after his death and her biography of him is an important source for understanding Weber's life.

Weber's ordeal with mental illness was carefully described in a personal chronology that was destroyed by his wife.

This chronicle was supposedly destroyed because Marianne Weber feared that Max Weber's work would be discredited by the Nazis if his experience with mental illness were widely known.

Weber's thinking was strongly influenced by German idealism and particularly by neo-Kantianism, to which he had been exposed through Heinrich Rickert, his professorial colleague at the University of Freiburg.

Though the influence of his mother's Calvinist religiosity is evident throughout Weber's life and work, and though he maintained a deep, lifelong interest in the study of religions, Weber was open about the fact that he was personally irreligious.

Weber's methodology was developed in the context of a wider debate about methodology of social sciences, the Methodenstreit.

Weber's position was close to historicism, as he understood social actions as being heavily tied to particular historical contexts and its analysis required the understanding of subjective motivations of individuals ( social actors ).

Another reason for Weber's decision was that Troeltsch's work already achieved what he desired in that area: laying the groundwork for a comparative analysis of religion and society.

The Religion of China: Confucianism and Taoism was Weber's second major work on the sociology of religion.

The Religion of India: The Sociology of Hinduism and Buddhism was Weber's third major work on the sociology of religion.

Weber's most influential work was on economic sociology, political sociology, and the sociology of religion.

This approach was most notably portrayed in Max Weber's concepts of traditional authority and modern rational-legal authority.

Adorno was chiefly influenced by Max Weber's critique of disenchantment, Georg Lukács's Hegelian interpretation of Marxism, as well as Walter Benjamin's philosophy of history.

Topelius initially thought of writing a trivial entertainment, but having heard extracts from the opera project at a concert in 1851, he realized that Pacius was writing a grand opera on the theme of salvation, following the early Romantic style of Carl Maria von Weber's Der Freischütz ( 1821 ) and Oberon ( 1826 ).

This interest was first manifested in Weber's incidental music for Schiller's translation of Gozzi's Turandot, for which he used a Chinese melody, making him the first Western composer to use an Asian tune that was not of the pseudo-Turkish kind popularized by Mozart and others.

Weber's shorter piano pieces, such as the Invitation to the Dance, was later orchestrated by Berlioz, while his Polacca Brillante was later set for piano and orchestra by Liszt.

In 1954, he made his Paris Opéra debut in the tenor role in Weber's Oberon, and was given a permanent contract for several years.

* A majority of the events of David Weber's Honor Harrington novels and short stories take place during the early years of the fifth millennium.

Subsequent years saw what was considered to be improved recruiting, with nine consensus top 100 players in Weber's final three classes to enter the university ; however, subsequent events did not indicate that Weber's rebuild had been entirely successful.

1798 also saw the twelve year old Weber's first published work, six fughettas for piano, published in Leipzig.

" Another major influence in Weber's life were the writings of Karl Marx and the workings of socialist thought in academia and active politics.

But, even though Weber's research interests were very much in line with that school, his views on methodology and the theory of value diverged significantly from those of other German historicists and were closer, in fact, to those of Carl Menger and the Austrian School, the traditional rivals of the historical school.

Though his research interests were always in line with those of the German historicists, with a strong emphasis on interpreting economic history, Weber's defence of " methodological individualism " in the social sciences represented an important break with that school and an embracing of many of the arguments that had been made against the historicists by Carl Menger, the founder of the Austrian School of economics, in the context of the academic Methodenstreit (" debate over methods ") of the late 19th century.

Many of Weber's works famous today were collected, revised and published posthumously.

On his early American tours, he programmed works such as the Chopin Preludes and Schumann's Fantasie in C. Among other works that he played, as recalled by those such as Claudio Arrau and Vladimir Horowitz, who had heard Schnabel in the 1920s, were Chopin's E minor Piano Concerto and the Piano Sonata No. 2 in B-flat minor, and Weber's Konzertstück in F minor, Piano Sonata No. 2, and Invitation to the Dance.

F.

These explorations into the achievement motive seem to turn naturally into the investigation of national differences based on Max Weber's thesis that the industrialization and economic development of the Western nations were related to the Protestant ethic and its corresponding values supporting work and achievement.

They suggested that previous theories such as Weber's bureaucracy and Frederick Winslow Taylor's scientific management had failed because they neglected that management style and organizational structure were influenced by various aspects of the environment: the contingency factors.

All four of Louis Spohr's clarinet concertos and several of his other clarinet works, as well as Carl Maria von Weber's Grand duo concertant, were written with Hermstedt's skills in mind and were dedicated to him.

Among those who admired Weber's music were Ned Rorem, Aaron Copland, Virgil Thomson, John Cage, Elliott Carter, Milton Babbitt, and David Diamond.

Weber's innovations were eclipsed by those of Richard Wagner, one of the most revolutionary and controversial figures in musical history.

Feminists were well aware of Weber's " iron cage ", it is just that they saw it as a starting point, not a finishing point.

Thus Grossman solves the central crux of Weber's analysis: his puzzlement over how enough people were recruited into early capitalist manufacturing.

Indeed according to Max Weber's study of capitalism and the Protestant ethic, frugality, sobriety, deferred consumption and saving were among the key values of the rising bourgeoisie in the age of the Reformation.

She has also appeared in fashion films such as Steven Meisel and Darren Lew's War Opera, Nick Knight's Andy Warhol-inspired series More Beautiful Women, Craig McDean's 48 Girls, and Bruce Weber's Petit Fleur, Harlequin, Voodoo Daddy, Closer Walk With Thee and Karen's Boogie ( all films were made in conjunction with W as a tribute to New Orleans ).

Kotte and Müller, who had decided to stay in Dresden, were nonetheless punished for their knowledge of Weber's plans.

Weber's roles were often bit parts in A-list films, beginning with that of Kyra Sedgwick's unnamed boyfriend in the Oliver Stone-directed period saga Born on the Fourth of July ( 1989 ) and continuing with work for directors including Sidney Lumet ( A Stranger Among Us, 1992 ), Alan J. Pakula ( The Pelican Brief, 1993 ) and Martin Brest ( Meet Joe Black, 1998 ).

The central theme in Weber's analysis of modern society was the process of rationalization ; a far reaching process whereby traditional modes of thinking were being replaced by an ends / means analysis concerned with efficiency and formalized social control.

They suggested that previous theories such as Weber's bureaucracy and Taylor's scientific management had failed because they neglected that management style and organizational structure were influenced by various aspects of the environment: the contingency factors.
