Topic: Max Weber


  
  Max Weber
Max Weber is best known as one of the leading scholars and founders of modern sociology, but Weber also accomplished much economic work in the style of the "youngest" German Historical School.
Weber's other contributions to economics were several: these include a (seriously researched) economic history of Roman agrarian society (his 1891 habilitiation), his work on the dual roles of idealism and materialism in the history of capitalism in his Economy and Society (1914), present Weber on his anti-Marxian run.
Max Weber's position as an economist has been debated, and indeed, it is generally accepted now that it is in sociology that his impact was greatest.

  Biografia de Max Weber
Max Weber era hijo de un jurista y político destacado del Partido Liberal Nacional en la época de Bismarck.
Las primeras investigaciones de Max Weber versaron sobre temas económicos, algunas de ellas realizadas por cuenta de los intelectuales reformistas conocidos como «socialistas de cátedra».
En términos generales, puede decirse que Weber se esforzó por comprender las interrelaciones de todos los factores que confluyen en la construcción de una estructura social; y en particular reivindicó la importancia de los elementos culturales y las mentalidades colectivas en la evolución histórica, rechazando la exclusiva determinación económica defendida por Marx y Engels.

 New Left Review - Peter Thomas: Being Max Weber
Weber’s influence as a far-sighted liberal advocate of the ‘ethics of responsibility’, theorist of modernity and a founder of the distinctively modernist enterprise of sociology continued to grow, both in Germany and internationally.
Weber ‘became the authority of a sociology that denied its own naturalistic origins’, with the implication that to recover the true complexity of the ‘naturalism’ of Weber’s life and work could prompt a wider reconsideration of the relationship between the social and natural sciences.
Weber may yet be remembered for the sophisticated form he gave to this passion; science for him was a form of politics continued by other means, while political efficacy—if we are to judge by deeds rather than words—was the end in which science found its ultimate justification.

Weber was born in Erfurt, the eldest son of an aspiring liberal politician whose family had become wealthy in the German linen industry.

 Max Weber's View of Objectivity in Social Science
Weber believed that once a value, end, purpose, or perspective had been established, then a social scientist could conduct a value-free investigation into the most effective means within a system of bringing about the established end.
Similarly, Weber believed that objective comparisons among systems could also be made once a particular end had been established, acknowledged, and agreed upon, a position that allowed Weber to make what he considered objective comparisons among such economic systems as capitalism and socialism.
