La ética protestante y el "espíritu" del capitalismo (El libro de bolsillo - Bibliotecas de autor - Biblioteca Weber)

Rate this book
"La ética protestante y el "espíritu" del capitalismo" se interroga por el origen de la mentalidad capitalista moderna, enemiga y vencedora del tradicionalismo, y llega a la conclusión de que tal mentalidad procede, no del propio desarrollo económico capitalista, sino del modo de vida generado por el protestantismo de raíz calvinista, que redundó en una racionalización equivalente a una "desmagificación" del mundo, es decir, en la reducción del mismo a objeto de cálculo, explotación y dominación. Esta nueva edición incluye, como novedad, el escrito del autor sobre "Las sectas protestantes y el espíritu del capitalismo" (1906). Ambos textos siguen la edición de las "Obras Completas de Max Weber (MWG)".

(Arabic: ماكس فيبر)

Maximilian Carl Emil Weber was a German lawyer, politician, historian, sociologist and political economist, who profoundly influenced social theory and the remit of sociology itself. His major works dealt with the rationalization, bureaucratization and 'disenchantment' associated with the rise of capitalism. Weber was, along with his associate Georg Simmel, a central figure in the establishment of methodological antipositivism; presenting sociology as a non-empirical field which must study social action through resolutely subjective means.
