This volume thus offers profound insight into the development of the social and cultural sciences in Germany at the same time. The extensive correspondence focuses on two centural themes: the foundation of the German Society for Sociology and the conceptual and organizational preparation of the Grundriss der Sozialokonomik This long-awaited first volume of correspondence in the Gesamtausgabe appeared in 1990 and recieved the prestigious Amalfi prize in 1991. ... This volume makes a significant contribution to German academic and intellectual history not only because of Weber's many observation on persons and issues but also because of the prominence, then or later, of so many of the recipients Guenther Roth in Telos 88 (summer 1991), p. 196-204 German description: Die Korrespondenz Max Webers 1909-1910 vertieft und verdeutlicht das Bild seiner Personlichen und seiner wissenschaftlichen Entwicklung und seiner offentlichen wissenschaftlichen Tatigkeit. Damit gewahrt der Band zugleich tiefe Einblicke in die Entwicklung der Sozial- und Kulturwissenschaften Deutschlands. Im Mittelpunkt der umfangreichen Korrespondenzen stehen zwei zentrale Gegenstandsbereiche: Die Grundung der Deutschen Gesellschaft fur Soziologie und die konzeptionelle und organisatorische Vorbereitung des Grundrisses der Sozialokonomik. Aber auch weniger beachtete Zuge werden deutlich: Briefe an seine Schwester Lili Schafer, an Friedrich Gundolf, Karl Vossler und an viele andere stellen Max Weber mit Ausserungen uber Dante und Shakespeare, uber Borchardt, George und Rilke als einen hervorragenden und scharf urteilenden Kenner der Weltliteratur und der literarischen Moderne vor.
