‘The’ Weber Thesis: An Attempt at Interpretation

  • Chapter
Acta Historiae Neerlandicae 8

Abstract

By way of introduction to our subject we shall present here the version of Weber’s thesis as this is generally accepted—with certain variations and differences of emphasis—in the literature. It is this variant which we have in mind whenever there is reference in this article to ‘the’ thesis of Weber’s.

To study is: to read what is written.

(Z. W. Sneller)
