New Book from Adrian Goldsworthy: How Rome Fell

[Jona Lendering]

Is Max Weber's Thermopylae essay available in English somewhere on the internet?

I would be surprised; the original title is ‘Kritische Studien auf dem Gebiet der kulturwissenschaftlichen Logik’; the German version is here. It is not about Thermopylae, but about scholarly logic; yet, in the first part, he deals with Meyer's remarks about the decisiveness of the Persian Wars. It is one of the most important essays on scholarly logic; in Holland, it is impossible to study history without at least getting a reference to it.
