Publisher Description

In Rationalities in History the distinguished historian David d'Avray provides a thought-provoking reassessment of seminal Weberian ideas, applying these ideas to the comparative history of religion and the philosophy of law. Utilising theories of rational choice and relativism alongside empirical research, d'Avray successfully disengages the idea of 'rationalisation' from 'modernity'.
