A. Anter 
Max Weber’s Theory of the Modern State 
Origins, structure and Significance

Andreas Anter reconstructs Max Weber’s theory of the modern state, showing its significance to contemporary political science. He reveals the ambivalence of Weber’s political thought: the oscillation between an étatiste position, mainly oriented to the reason of state, and an individualistic one, focussed on the freedom of individuals
