Description

Explore the foundational theories of two of history's most influential thinkers in Marx and Weber on Oriental Societies: In the Shadow of Western Modernity. This academic text from Routledge examines how the Orient played a central role in the development of social theory. Both Karl Marx and Max Weber built their frameworks around the question of why modernity emerged specifically in the West. This book provides a deep look at their differing perspectives. While Marx focused his account on the accumulation of capital in Western nations, Weber centered his explanation on the process of Western rationalization. By extending recent comparative work, this volume investigates their specific approaches to Oriental societies. It highlights how their theories on the historical and political development of the West shaped their views on other global regions. This is an essential resource for students and scholars studying classical and contemporary social theory, anthropology, and sociology.
