The German philosophers Gadamer and Habermas shared an idea of the process of understanding as a 'dialogue' between the researchers of other cultures and the subjects whose lives and actions they study. This book offers a new challenge to their central theory and questions the validity of the basic thesis they hold in common by critically re-examining their views of earlier figures in the German hermeneutic tradition.

Max Weber's The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism continues to be one of the most influential texts in the sociology of modern Western societies. Although Weber never produced the further essays with which he intended to extend the study, he did complete four lengthy Replies to reviews of the text by two German historians.
