  • Max Weber's Protestant Ethic in the 21St Century
    P1: Vendor/FZN International Journal of Politics, Culture and Society [ijps] ph137-ijps-376822 July 8, 2002 15:39 Style file version Nov. 19th, 1999 International Journal of Politics, Culture and Society, Vol. 16, No. 1, Fall 2002 (C 2002) II. The Protestant Ethic: On New Translations Max Weber’s Protestant Ethic in the 21st Century Lutz Kaelber† The history of sociology’s most famous study began with the publication of a two-part essay. Its author, educated as a lawyer but formerly employed as a national economist, had no formal training in its subject. He had just overcome a mood disorder that had debilitated him and all but finished his promising academic career, allowing his wife to become better known in some academic and social circles than he was. The essay’s arguments were quickly challenged by historians, whose critiques the author rebuffed in an acerbic and cantankerous fashion. Within weeks and months after publishing the study, its author moved on to conduct other monumental studies and did not return to the original study’s subject matter until close to the end of his life, when the essays were thoroughly revised and made part of a much larger project comparing the interface of religion and economics in the major religions. Since the author’s death, there have been studies addressing the genesis of the original essays, the significance of the changes made in their revision, the original and revised essays’ status in the larger context of the author’s work, their extension both stepping back and moving forward in time, and, last but not least, their shortcomings and aberrations, real and imagined.1 The work itself has been translated into numerous languages.

  • The Cambridge Companion to Weber Edited by Stephen Turner Frontmatter More Information
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-56753-4 - The Cambridge Companion to Weber Edited by Stephen Turner Frontmatter More information Max Weber is indubitably one of the very greatest ®gures in the history of the social sciences, the source of seminal concepts like ``the Protestant Ethic'' and ``charisma.'' But, like that of his great forebears Adam Smith and Karl Marx, Weber's work always resists easy categorization. Prominent as a founding father of sociology, Weber has been a major in¯uence in the study of ancient history, religion, economics, law, and, more recently, cultural studies. This Cambridge Companion provides an authoritative introduction to the major facets of his thought, including several (like industrial psychology) which have hitherto been neglected. A very distinguished international team of contributors examines some of the major controversies that have erupted over Weber's specialized work, and shows how the issues have developed since he wrote. The articles are both expository and critical, and demonstrate how our view of Weber has changed over the twentieth century. © Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-56753-4 - The Cambridge Companion to Weber Edited by Stephen Turner Frontmatter More information THE CAMBRIDGE COMPANION TO WEBER © Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-56753-4 - The Cambridge Companion to Weber Edited by Stephen Turner Frontmatter More information OTHER VOLUMES IN THE SERIES OF CAMBRIDGE COMPANIONS Aquinas Edited by Norman Kiketzmann and Eleanore Stump Aristotle Edited by Jonathan Barnes (published) Bacon Edited by Markku Peltonen (published) Berkeley Edited by Kenneth Winkler Descartes Edited by John Cottingham (published) Early Greek Philosophy Edited by A.

  • Two Meanings of Disenchantment: Sociological Condition Vs
    Philosophy & Th eology 17, 1 & 2 51 TWO MEANINGS OF DISENCHANTMENT: SOCIOLOGICAL CONDITION VS. PHILOSOPHICAL ACT— REASSESSING MAX WEBER’S THESIS OF THE DISENCHANTMENT OF THE WORLD Jeffrey E. Green Harvard University Abstract Although the primary meaning of Max Weber’s concept of dis- enchantment is as a sociological condition (the retreat of magic and myth from social life through processes of secularization and rationalization), as Weber himself makes clear in his address, “Sci- ence as a Vocation,” disenchantment can also be a philosophical act: an unusual form of moral discourse that derives new ethical direction out of the very untenability of a previously robust moral tradition. The philosophical variant of disenchantment is significant both because it contradicts numerous elements of the sociological version and because it suggests there are forms of cognition unique to moral philosophy (insofar as the derivation of a moral teaching from the very absence of one is foreign to both a religious and a scientific mindset). “Que sommes-nous donc sans le secours de ce qui n’existe pas?” —Paul Valéry For Anthony Kronman According to the biographical account of Max Weber written by his wife, the most fundamental animating concern underlying Weber’s vast body of research was the following dynamic: “He was moved, 52 Green: Two Meanings of Disenchantment above all, by the fact that on its earthly course an idea always and everywhere operates in opposition to its original meaning and thereby destroys itself” (Weber 1975, 337).1 This dialectic between an idea’s intended meaning and the effective truth of it actual implementation can be found in a variety of places within the Weberian corpus.

  • Law and Tradition
    doi: 10.21783/rei.v7i2.644 SUBMETIDO: 30 AGO. 2021 ACEITO: 30 AGO. 2021 LAW AND TRADITION RICHARD ABEL 1 The four of us came to Yale and the Law and Modernization Program by different routes. I’m going to describe my background because it explains how Dave and I complemented each other. Influenced by Russia’s launch of Sputnik in fall of my senior year in high school and the fact that I was good at math and science, I majored in physics at Harvard. By the end of my second year, however, I realized I didn’t want to be a scientist: I wasn’t good enough, and it would be years before I could do original work. In spring 1960 I took David Riesman’s SocSci 136 course: “American Character and Social Structure.” It was transformative. The course addressed some of my most pressing personal concerns; for instance, we read Riesman’s “The Lonely Crowd” and Paul Goodman’s “Growing Up Absurd” (1960)— critiques of 1950s culture and pressures for conformity. Allowed to write on almost any topic for our term paper (the only requirement), I chose “Attitudes towards science and extra-scientific phenomena: an empirical study among Harvard students.” (Looking back, I think I was seeking justifications for abandoning physics.) Riesman was a fellow of Quincy House, where I lived, and 729 often had lunch with students, encouraging us to voice dissatisfactions with our Harvard education. My section man sent me a long, laudatory letter about the paper. (He was William Gamson, then writing about social movements in opposition to fluoridation, prefiguring today’s anti-vaxers.) Even more important, Riesman wrote every student (perhaps a hundred of us) about our papers.

  • Introduction
    Introduction Giiven the interconnections between particular technologies and local/global problems such as war, poverty, environmental destruction, disease, and increas- ing economic disparity, the importance of formulating a theory of technologi- cal transformation seems paramount. To this end, Andrew Feenberg offers one of the most fully developed theories on the politics of technological transfor- mation to date.1 His critical theory of technology is, therefore, a significant point of dialogue for further research, hence the reason for this volume. Feenberg argues that “there are ways of rationalizing society that democra- tize rather than centralize control.”2 He reasons that if modernity as we know it is established through a process of rationalization, then alternative rational- izations are necessary in order to create alternative modernities. According to Feenberg, the current modernity is characterized by a particular rationality—a technical code—and that this rationality has been embodied in the techno- logical designs of modern society. Democratizing technology means expanding technological design to include alternative interests and values. Background and Context of Feenberg’s Work Some understanding of the context of Feenberg’s work is necessary to fully ap- preciate the contributions in this volume. Feenberg, a student of Herbert Mar- cuse, draws most heavily from the Frankfurt School3 tradition to formulate his critical theory of technology. Like his Frankfurt School predecessors, Feen- berg’s work is largely a response to, or continuation, of Max Weber’s theory of modernity. Weber claimed that the process of modernization fueled by capi- talism’s emphasis on “formal rationality” necessarily led to a differentiation © 2006 State University of New York Press, Albany x | Introduction between technological and social spheres.4 In short, the progress of modernity was achieved at the expense of moving away from the personal (substantive) re- lations of traditional societies to the impersonal (formal) relations of modern so- ciety.
