Fate and Utopia in German Sociology provides a lucid introduction to a major sociological tradition in Western thought. It is an intellectual history of five scholars—Ferdinand Tönnies, Ernst Troeltsch, Max Weber, Georg Simmel, and Georg Lukács—who created modern German sociology over the course of fifty years, from 1870 to 1923. Liebersohn portrays his subjects as thinkers who were deeply immersed in the politics and poetry of their time, and whose sociology benefited in unexpected ways from sources as diverse as medieval mysticism and Nietzsche's Birth of Tragedy. He maps out their shared sociological discourse, shaped in response to the fragmentation they perceived in public life, in education and the arts, and in Protestant religious life. German sociology has generally been interpreted as having a tragic perspective on modern society (as implied by the pervasive idiom of "fate"); Liebersohn argues that this sense of fate was matched by an underlying utopian hope for an end to fragmentation, rooted for all of his subjects in the Lutheran idea of community.The book's five biographical chapters are structured to discuss ideas of community, society, and personality in the work of the individual discussed, while there is a general movement among the chapters from community to society to socialism. Many specific texts are discussed, and the overall orientation is one of intellectual history rather than sociological analysis.

Words like "fate" and "destiny" sound hokey or cheap in every day conversation, but what if you were forced into a world where the rest of your life was controlled by them? What if you suddenly found out that you had been selected from before your birth to save the world? What if you the world you'd spent your life in really wasn't your world at all? This is what young Kayelae must deal with when she leaves the world she called home for the final time to save the world she left behind in infancy. It is in this world, Charis, that she meets the man chosen to be her partner long before his birth, a man who has absolutely no desire to help her. in fact, what he wants is the very opposite: to destroy the Prophesy that seeks to govern him. And when he has a sudden change of heart, can she trust him? Can she really trust anyone, especially the handsome assassin claiming to be her brother? And when even fate is destroyed, will any of them survive?
