Part I. Of 'Sect Man': The Modern Self and Civil Society in Max Weber -- Part II The Protesant Ethic and the spirit of individualism -- Part III. The Protestant Sects and the Spirit of Civil Society -- Part IV. Politics, Science, Ethics -- Part V. liberalism, . nationalism, and civil society --Part VI. Max Weber's politics of civil society.

This book is an in-depth interpretation of Max Weber as a political theorist of civil society. On the one hand, it reads Weber's ideas from the perspective of modern political thought, rather than the modern social sciences; on the other, it offers a liberal assessment of this complex political thinker without attempting to apologize for his shortcomings. Through an alternative reading of Weber's religious, epistemological and political writings, the book shows Weber's concern with public citizenship in a modern mass democracy and civil society as its cultivating ground. Kim argues Weber's political thought, thus recast, was deeply informed by Kant, Hegel, Nietzsche and other German political thinkers and also reveals an affinity to the liberal-republican tradition best represented by Mill and Tocqueville. Kim has effectively resuscitated Weber as a political thinker for our time in which civic virtues and civil society have once again become one of the dominant issues.
