The letters from 1895 to 1902 show Max Weber as a committed university lecturer in Freiburg and Heidelberg, and as a scholar who produced fundamental works about ancient history and about stock-market legislation but they also document the break with his father, the stages of his ailments and his gradual retirement from teaching. As usual, introduction, preliminary notes, commentaries and registers complete the volume.
The letters from 1895 to 1902 show Max Weber as a committed university lecturer in Freiburg and Heidelberg, and as a scholar who produced fundamental works about ancient history, about stock-market legislation and about the agrarian policies of the German Empire. As leading editor of an academic book series, he laid the foundations for his lifelong cooperation with the publishing house J.C.B. Mohr (Paul Siebeck). As a political companion, but also strong critic of Friedrich Naumann, he found himself in an area of tension between politics and science. Moreover, the letters show him as an enthusiastic traveller to Scotland, Ireland, France and Spain. They document the break with his father, the stages of his ailments, his gradual retirement from teaching and the regaining of his intellectual strength after stays in Corsica and in Italy. As usual, introduction, preliminary notes, commentaries and registers complete the volume.
