First line
In his famous introduction to the collection of his studies on the sociology of religion, Max Weber takes up the "problem of universal history" to which his scholarly life was dedicated, namely, the question why, outside Europe, "the scientific, the artistic, the political, or the economic development . . . did not enter upon that path of rationalization which is peculiar to the Occident?"
From the rear cover
These lectures constitute Jurgen Habermas's response to the challenge posed by the radical critique of reason in contemporary French poststructuralism.
