Compiling a List of Secondary Literature about Max Weber Studies

本研究的目的是全面收集和整理有关马克斯·韦伯研究的所有二手文献，而不分时间、主题和语言。东洋大学的兼职讲师Mitoma Toshiyuki先生在1905年至1964年期间合作收集了日本文学，图宾根大学的Constans Seyfarth教授合作收集了欧洲语言的日本文学。首席调查员铃木蒙诺里负责收集1964年后的日本文学作品，合作调查员奥原浩史负责整个名单的编制工作。只有1905-1964年的日本文学名录是在两年的研究时间内完成的，如此全面、准确的名录，值得官方公布。我们将继续研究，并最终将整个名单作为数据库发布。在研究过程中，最显著的结果是首次发现了日本韦伯研究早期的许多重要文章。由于日本的韦伯研究也在德国引起了关注，这项研究的意义变得更加重要。关于近年来的韦伯研究，也很明显，尽管有专业化和细分的趋势，但作为一个整体，出版的文献仍然在增长。

The purpose of this research is to collect and arrange all the secondary literature about Max Weber studies comprehensively regardless of their time, subject, or language. Mr. Toshiyuki Mitoma, part-time lecturer of Toyo University, collaborated in collecting the Japanese literature from 1905 to 1964, and Prof. Dr. Constans Seyfarth of Tubingen University collaborated in collecting the literature in European languages. Munenori Suzuki, head investigator, worked on the collection of Japanese literature after 1964, and Hiroshi Orihara, co-operative investigator, supervised the compilation of the whole list. Only the list of the Japanese literature from 1905 to 1964 was completed within the research period of two years, such a comprehensive and exact list that deserves on official announcement. We will continue to research and finally publish the whole list as a database. The most significant result that became clear in the process of the research was that many important articles in the early stage of Japanese Weber studies were discovered for the first time. The significance of this research is all the more important now that Japanese Weber studies are attracting attention also in Germany. Concerning Weber studies in recent years, it also became clear that the literature published as a whole is still growing, in spite of the tendency to specializing and subdividing.
