»Max Weber´s Theory of a Modern State. Origin, Structure, Importance«

This highly regarded study provides a comprehensive presentation and interpretation of Weber’s theory of state. It reconstructs the fragments scattered throughout the work, points to the origin of the individual concepts and their significance for contemporary state theory. Andreas Anter demonstrates how closely Weber follows contemporary thinkers – especially Georg Jellinek and Friedrich Nietzsche – and sharpened and modified their concepts. At the same time, Max Weber’s ambivalence becomes clear: the wavering between an etatist attitude oriented towards state reason and an individualistic position that inquires about the freedom of the individual.
