The position that social scientists stand on the shoulders of giants, such as Marx and Weber, would likely meet with disapproval, especially from the latter. This does not negate the fact that both belong to the classics, whose works reflect the upcoming generations.
Society – especially in the crisis it is currently undergoing – has much to learn from the multifaceted reading of Weber's work: the German sociologist (1864-1920) introduces us to the methodological reflection of social sciences, which is condensed into the question: how can we understand and explain reality in the most comprehensive way possible, despite and beyond our beliefs.
The contributions of this collective volume, featuring the participation of internationally recognized scholars, address aspects of the work of the great classic and provide starting points for demystifying investigation and sober reflection regarding the present and future of the social and political reality that surrounds us.
