Isi artikel

Weber’s piece on the development of the north-European Western city has not commanded attention in the recent theoretical literature. This article argues that it can however provide fresh insights into some key problems of Weber’s diagnosis of modernity and into his general sociological theory, especially as to his theory of action and creativity. A more open-ended conception of modernity can be gained from its analysis, which is more compatible with Weber’s own methodological assumptions. A different relationship between freedom and rationality may be derived as a theoretical and political consequence from the discussion of The City.
