The Living Legacy of Marx, Durkheim & Weber: Applications and Analyses of Classical Sociological Theory by Modern Social Scientists

An anthology that assembles—for the first time— a rich collection of articles by contemporary social scientists who either analyze or apply the theories and methods of Karl Marx, Emile Durkheim, and Max Weber to their own work. Together, the thirty-one articles show clearly how modern sociologists, economists, political scientists, anthropologists, and social psychologists dissect and use concepts such as class, anomie, bureaucracy, community, rationality, representations, capitalism, charisma, inequality, and religious ritual, which are at the heart of the writings of Marx, Durkheim, and Weber.
