Max Weber and the concept of Chance

Weber studies have been radically transformed since the 1980s. Political concepts expert Kari Palonen continues this revision by reading Weber as a thoroughly political thinker.

His brand new collection discusses:

• Weber's concept of politics and the politician as an ideal type
• Weber's reinterpretations of freedom and democracy
• The link between Weber's concept of ‘objectivity' and the parliamentary style of politics

Contains essays from 1999 to 2014, along with a new introduction written for this book.

Praise for A Political Style of Thinking

'Kari Palonen engages... with some of the most urgent issues of our times, like the role of temporality in political deliberation, the relationship between ethics and politics, and the political style of thinking and acting politically. A tour de force and a challenging text for those who study and practice politics.' Nadia Urbinati, Columbia University
