During the ten years between the publication of his Philosophy of Arithmetic and his Logical Investigations, Husserl wrote a number of reviews of mathematical and logical works and some essays on the foundations of logic. In contrast to his later writings, which cite scarcely any contemporary authors, Husserl's papers in this period show a detailed knowledge of current literature.

Weber's studies of non-European (or non-Christian) religions constitute the largest part of his Sociology of Religion—comprising most of the Aufsaetze zur Religionssoziologie (1920-1923), as well as large parts of his treatment in Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft (1956). Included, as is well known, are relatively full-blown studies of Jewish, Chinese (Confucian) and Indian (Hindu and Buddhist) civilizations, and more dispersed, but very rich appraisals of diverse aspects of other religions. These studies are focused on the internal dynamics of religions and on their (...) relations to crucial aspects of social structure—especially political organization, economic life and social stratification.
