Weber and the persistence of religion

Viac o knihe

"More disturbingly, Weber and the Persistence of Religion also shows how the growing antagonism between contemporary spiritual subjectivity and practice and its material forms of appearance may explain the unremitting escalation in officially sanctioned mass death since the 14th century. If mass death is a defining feature of contemporary religion, it is vital that we understand why and how it has become so." "This book will be of interest to students and scholars of Social Theory, History, the Sociology of Religion and Philosophy."--BOOK JACKET.
