More about the book
Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Max Weber, central thinkers in the discussion of political legitimacy, represent two very different stages and forms of social theory: early modern political philosophy and classical sociology. In these studies, Dr. Merquior describes and assesses their individual contributions to the understanding of the concept of political legitimacy. Dr. Merquior compares Rousseau and Weber to a handful of other major theorists and highlights the contemporary prospects of the alternatives between democratic participation and bureaucratism.
