Description

This scholarly work examines how Marx and Weber approached Oriental societies whilst building their foundational theories of Western modernity. Marx centred his analysis on capital accumulation in the West, whilst Weber emphasised Western rationalization as the key to modernity's emergence. The book extends comparative studies of these two thinkers, exploring their differing theorizations of historical and political development in the West and their interconnected perspectives on Oriental social formations. By juxtaposing Marx's materialist framework with Weber's rationalization thesis, the author reveals how both theorists grappled with the question of why modernity appeared uniquely Western. This volume is essential for scholars of classical social theory, comparative sociology, and the history of sociological thought, offering fresh insights into how nineteenth and early twentieth-century thinkers conceptualized non-Western societies.

Key Features

Compares Marx and Weber's theoretical frameworks for understanding Oriental societies and Western modernity.

Examines how Marx's capital accumulation theory differs from Weber's rationalization thesis in explaining Western development.

Explores the historical and political analyses both theorists applied to understand social formations across cultures.

Provides scholarly analysis of classical social theory relevant to anthropology and sociology studies.
