Primary Sources
Commissioned by the Bavarian Academy of Sciences (Bayerische
Akademie der Wissenschaften), Max Weber
Gesamtausgabe (Collected Works) have been published continuously
since 1984 by J. C. B. Mohr (Paul Siebeck), the original publisher of
Weber’s works in Tübingen, Germany. The first editorial
committee of 1973 consisted of Horst Baier, M. Rainer Lepsius,
Wolfgang Mommsen, Wolfgang Schluchter, and Johannes Winkelmann. This
monumental project consists of a total of forty-five (plus two index)
volumes in three divisions, i.e., I. Writings and Speeches, II.
Correspondences, and III. Lectures and Lecture Notes. In 2020, it was
finally brought to a completion in time for the centenary of
Weber’s death. The original commissioner, the Bavarian Academy,
has begun to go on-line with an open-access digital format; for
updates, the reader is referred to the publisher’s web page for
the
Max Weber Gesamtausgabe (digital).
Primary Texts in English Translation
In English, new translations have appeared since the turn of the
century. Most notable among them would be The Protestant Ethic and
the Spirit of Capitalism by Peter Baehr/Gordon C. Wells (Penguin
Books, 2002) and Stephen Kalberg (Roxbury Publishing Co., 2002).
Reflecting the latest Weber scholarship, both editions have many
virtues, especially in terms of enhanced readability and adequate
contextualization. Talcott Parson’s classic edition is still
listed below because it is the most widely available text in English.
Even more welcoming is the new compilation and translation of
Weber’s methodological writings in Max Weber: Collected
Methodological Writings (eds. Hans Henrik Bruun and Sam
Whimster, trans. Hans Henrik Bruun, Routlege, 2012). The earlier
anthology, for all its uneven quality of translation, is still used in
this article for the same reason of availability.
