Max Weber and Karl Marx (Controversies in sociology)

Löwith, Karl

George Allen Unwin

This is a key text in modern interpretations of alienation in Marxist theory and rationalization in Weber's sociology. It remains the best student introduction to the differences and comparisons between these two essential thinkers.

Modern man sees with one eye of faith and one eye of reason. Consequently, his view of history is confused. For centuries, the history of the Western world has been viewed from the Christian or classical standpoint—from a deep faith in the Kingdom of God or a belief in recurrent and eternal life-cycles. The modern mind, however, is neither Christian nor pagan—and its interpretations of history are Christian in derivation and anti-Christian in result. To develop this theory, Karl Löwith—beginning with the more accessible philosophies of history in the nineteenth and eighteenth centuries and working back to the Bible—analyzes the writings of outstanding historians both in antiquity and in Christian times. "A book of distinction and great importance. . . . The author is a master of philosophical interpretation, and each of his terse and substantial chapters has the balance of a work of art."—Helmut Kuhn, Journal of Philosophy

Written in 1939, while Lowith was in exile in Japan and first published in Germany in 1986, this book is a philosopher's autobiography. It focuses on the years 1914-1939 - a crucial period in the growth of Hitler's Germany. It covers Lowith's youth in Germany, his emigration to Italy and from there to Japan, and his meeting with Martin Heidegger in Rome in 1936 - and includes philosophical-biographical vignettes of leading German intellectual figures of the day: the George circle, Oswald Spengler, Karl Barth and Carl Schmitt. At a personal level, the work represents the search by a German-Jewish intellectual for political and cultural identity in the Germany of Weimar and the Third Reich. As an historical document, it provides a valuable account of the whole intellectual and social ambience before and after 1933, and should be of interest to philosophers, intellectual historians, Germanists and all those interested in the problematic history of 20th-century German philosophy. Karl Lowith's other titles include "Meaning and History" (1949), "From Hegel to Nietzsche" (1964), and "Weber and Marx" (1982).
