Max Weber-Studienausgabe

The Max Weber-Studienausgabe (MWS) renders Max Weber's works and speeches accessible to a large audience, using the complete and reliable Max Weber-Gesamtausgabe (MWG) as its basis while deliberately dispensing with its editional apparatus. It has howecer been laid out in such a manner that the reader can easily fall back on the MWG. The present volume contains S.G. Giwago's review of the 'loi fondamentale de l'Empire Russe', published in Paris in 1905, which prompted Max Weber's study of the Russian Revolution. In the afterword, the editor gives an overall view of Max Weber's interest in Russia, his preoccupation with the revolutionary events as well as the intentions and the reception of his writings on Russia.
