What is From Max Weber: Essays in Sociology: International Library of Sociology A: Social Theory and Methodology (International Library of Sociology) about?

In this book Weber argues that sociology is most clearly understood through interpretations of social stratifications and divisions. Weber defines sociology as "a science which attempts the interpretive understanding of social action in order thereby to arrive at a causal explanation of its cause and effect."Weber's interpretation of social action can be used as a framework to further analyze prestige and power. His analysis of power structures illustrates how the political understanding of social actions becomes meaningful not only for defining the role of the individual, but more importantly, for the effect an individual's action has in engaging and re-defining the political community.
