Korean Society for Social Theory: Re-reading Max Weber

Commemorating the 150th anniversary of Max Weber's birth, this book compiles papers by 11 researchers from various fields who have studied Weber's life and scholarship. Through *Weber's 'Iron Cage' – In the History of the 'Contradictions of Life'*, the book analyzes the true meaning of the 'iron cage' and urges readers to live a life of both freedom and responsibility by becoming individuals called to resolutely confront the 'cage.' In *Weber's 'Ideal Type' and Schutz's 'Prototype'*, the book illuminates the essence of modernity through the concepts of 'prototype' and 'ideal type.' *Weber's Practical Methodology – Toward a Systematic Sociology of Civilization* demonstrates that a sociology of civilization, deeply rooted in the key elements of Weber's methodology of understanding, can provide useful insights for clarifying the contours of civilizations, understanding their development, and comprehending the interactions between them, whether more intense or harmonious.
