catalog abstract ""In the Grip of Freedom examines the relationship between Max Weber's Sociology of Law and his analysis of the structure and meaning of modern society. The interpretation of legal phenomena plays a prominent role in Weber's account of the development of the West and in his conception of the rationalism of modern social arrangements. In this study, Cary Boucock looks at Weber's social and political thought in the context of developments in Canada following the 1982 enactment of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms - namely, the movement towards a rights-oriented nation, where broad social issues are routed through the courts, and the political self-understanding of the citizen becomes increasingly tied to a conception of the individual as a rights-bearing subject." "Boucock goes beyond conventional assessments of Weber's legal theory and its applicability to understanding contemporary legal developments. He explores the significance of Weber's sociology of law theories within the larger compass of his sociological thought and illustrates the significance of Weber's sociology for interpreting the social and legal practices of our time."--Jacket.".
