Media Reviews
Our debt to Reinhard Bendix is great. [ Max Weber provides] a consistent and wholly satisfactory picture of the sequence of Weber's ideas and the development of a great intellect. . . . Its publication makes plain--even for those familiar with his writings--the enduring value of Weber's sociological thinking. -- The Listener
Author Bio
Reinhard Bendix (1916 - 1991) was professor of political science at the University of California in Berkeley, where he has been teaching since 1947. Born in Berlin in 1916, Bendix fled the Hitler regime when he was twenty-two, and came to the United States, where he entered the University of Chicago. There he studied sociology and obtained a B.A. in 1941, an M.A. in 1943, and his Ph.D. four years later. In 1970 he was president of the American Sociological Association. Among his numerous books are Work an Authority (1956), Nation-baking and Citizenship (1964), Embattled Reason (1970), and Kinds or People (1980).
