English summary: Max Weber’s research program is not only of historical interest, but has also played an important role in recent debates on social theory. The essays collected in this volume contribute to this program and aim to demonstrate its vitality. They consist of explications, interpretations and applications of Max Weber’s work and can be summarized as contributions to a relational sociology beyond methodological individualism and methodological holism. They address questions such as the relation between structure and action, rationality in its various dimensions, the role of religion in a secular age, and the problems of comparing religions from a Weberian point of view without being trapped by evolutionism and normative euro-centrism. They also deal with Weber’s position in economic and social history and in matters of higher education. German description: Das Forschungsprogramm Max Webers ist nicht nur von historischer Bedeutung, es spielt auch eine wichtige Rolle in der aktuellen Theoriediskussion in der Soziologie. Es lasst sich als eine relationale Soziologie verstehen, zwischen methodologischem Individualismus und methodologischem Holismus angesiedelt. Dies wird in der ersten der in diesem Band zusammengestellten zwolf Abhandlungen von Wolfgang Schluchter gezeigt. Sie stellen insgesamt den Versuch dar, das Potential dieses Forschungsprogramms in verschiedenen Hinsichten auszuloten. Die Abhandlungen umfassen Explikationen und Interpretationen des Werkes Max Webers, aber auch Anwendungen seines Ansatzes auf Fragen, die von ihm noch nicht behandelt wurden.
