[MWS 18.1 (2018) 7-9] ISSN 1470-8078 http://dx.doi.org/10.15543/MWS/2018/1/2 Editorial Peter Flügel and Sam Whimster This issue publishes the second instalment of papers coming out of the conference on Max Weber’s Hinduism and Buddhism study (known in English as The Religion of India). As many of the papers point out, the Hinduism and Buddhism study was part of the series of ‘The Economic Ethics of the World Religions’. The English trans- lations of that series have mangled the continuity of Weber’s proj- ect. He wrote the Introduction to the series (translated by Gerth and Mills in their collection From Max Weber as ‘The Social Psychology of the World Religions’), and then Weber proceeded to the study on Confucianism and Taoism (translated as The Religion of China).
