Max Weber-Gesamtausgabe: Band II/10,1: Briefe 1918-1920

Max Weber's letters between 1918 and 1920 show the astounding number of upheavals in his political, professional and private life. Max Weber was active as a consultant for a realistic handling of the German loss of the war and as a citizen for a parliamentary state governed by the rule of law. Professionally he dared to make a new start as a university teacher, first in Vienna and then in Munich. During this time, he focused on sociology as the center of his theories and on the production of his scholarly works. The move from Heidelberg to Munich signified a large change in his private life. The more than 450 largely unknown letters, which have been edited and provided with commentaries, give a deep insight into the last years of Max Weber's life.
