The centenary of Max Weber’s death raises the question of the wider significance of 1920 as marking a break in the history of social theory. This es-say focuses on Germany and Austria, where the political break with the past was particularly sharp and the discontinuities in the social and intellectual configuration of the social sciences were most obvious. Three trends are par-ticularly striking: the development of neo-Marxist social theory with György Lukács and Karl Korsch and the later emergence of critical theory, the polari-sation between neo-positivism and interpretive sociology, and the consolida-tion of the sociology of knowledge.
