Max Weber's Passion for Thinking

Section: Political Books

Number of pages: 1376 pages

The book discusses Weber's encyclopedic personality who "picked a rose from the garden of every science", and addresses his early illness that accompanied him throughout his life, but did not prevent him from scientific development. It also addresses his political life and his relationship with the Tsar, and sheds light on the many sciences in which he wrote brilliantly until he appeared as one of its giants. It draws a comparison between him and scholars who were his contemporaries and those who preceded him, and reviews the position of his writings on religion and many other matters contained in this massive encyclopedic work. The book was translated by Khalil Al-Sheikh, and is 1376 pages long, including a bibliography and a general index.
