Além disso, ele a define como estilo de vida próprio fomentado pelo indivíduo, que, conseqüentemente, interfere na conduta de um grupo ou de uma coletividade historicamente determinados. A análise da religião possibilita também a compreensão interpretativa de "individualidades históricas", ou seja, das seis religiões ou sistemas como o budismo, confucionismo, judaísmo, o islamismo, protestantismo e hinduísmo, cuja descrição histórica e tipológica possibilitou a formulação mais desenvolvida da relação entre religião e economia, ou seja, da conexão de sentido entre protestantismo e capitalismo. Mediante a análise comparativa e descritiva das religiões mundiais (éticas religiosas), Weber aponta a religião (o protestantismo) como um dos determinantes causais da ética econômica do capitalismo europeu / Abstract: For Weber, religion is the key to the interpretation and understanding of wider cultural processes, such as disenchantment of the world and secularization. Moreover, he defines it as a personal style of life promoted by the individual, which consequently interferes in the conduct of a historically detennined group or collective. Analysis of religion pennits the interpretive comprehension of various "historical individualities", that is, innumerous religions such as Buddhism, Confucianism, Judaism, Protestantism, and Hinduism, among others, whose historic and typological description permitted the most complete formulation of the relationship between religion and economy, that is, of the meaningful connection between Protestantism and Capitalism. Based on a comparative and descriptive analysis of world religions (religious ethics), Weber considers religion (Protestantism) to be one of the causal detenninants of European capitalism / Mestrado / Mestre em Sociologia

Esse grande clássico do pensamento social sustentou posição muito crítica em relação à exequibilidade do projeto socialista. Mais precisamente, este trabalho delineia e analisa a crítica weberiana ao socialismo em sua dupla abrangência: Weber contrapõe-se tanto à ideia de que a emancipação humana seria atingida em uma sociedade socialista estabelecida, quanto às próprias possibilidades de êxito de uma revolução social que caminhasse no sentido da construção dessa sociedade. Inicialmente revelados os argumentos weberianos que sustentam tal postura, passa-se à sua subsequente discussão crítica à luz do contexto histórico na qual o pensador alemão os forjou. A cadeia de valores que norteavam o autor - base de sua postura político-ideológica - parece influenciar sobremaneira seu ponto de vista sobre o modo de produção socialista, o qual via apenas como extensão radicalizada da dominação burocrática, algo já existente em seu predecessor, o capitalismo moderno. Tomando precisamente essa ideia como central, não vislumbrava saída para a jaula de ferro da burocracia, apresentando-a como algo inexorável na modernidade, seja no capitalismo, seja no seu suposto antípoda, o socialismo. Por fim, muito embora desdobramentos históricos das experiências socialistas tenham dado razão a Weber, apresentam-se alguns elementos críticos à elaboração teórica weberiana, problematizando-se alguns aspectos de sua argumentação, cuja força e influência são inegáveis. Para isso, textos variados de sua obra são percorridos e analisados, embora tome como documento central a célebre Conferência sobre o Socialismo, proferida por Weber em 1918 / This work aims to analyse Max Weber's perspective in relation to the socialism. This great classic of the social thought argued against the feasibility of the socialist project from a very critical point of view. More precisely, this work delineates and analyses the double biased Weberian criticism towards socialism: Weber not only opposes the idea that the human emancipation would be reached in an established socialist society, but also criticises the possibilities of success of a social revolution that could lead to that sort of society. Unveiled the arguments that underpin Weber's criticism, the subsequent critical discussion of the author's reasons is addressed in the light of the historical background in which the German thinker has come up with them. The chain of values that guided the author, which provides the basis for his political-ideological position, seems to exert great influence on the view he holds on socialism, which he has only seen as an extensive form of the bureaucratic domination, something that has already existed in its predecessor, the modern capitalism. Taking that very idea as pivotal, that negative view of socialism, Weber has considered there was no way out for the cage of iron of bureaucracy, thus claiming it was something inexorable in modern times, either in capitalism or in socialism, capitalism's supposed antipodal. Finally, even though some historical developments of the socialist experiences give reason to Weber's arguing, the Weberian theorisation and his arguing, whose strength and influence are undeniable, are questioned here based on some critical elements. In order to do so, a wide range of Weber's works are browsed and analysed; the famous Conference on Socialism, though, proffered by Weber in 1918, is here taken as the fundamental document for research

Tomando-o como um ponto de intersecção entre os "universos" das ciências humanas e dos estudos sobre música, buscamos verificar como Weber se apropriou das análises e reflexões apresentadas nas obras que lhe serviram de base para a construção de sua narrativa sobre o processo de racionalização da música ocidental; ou seja, tentamos compreender como o estudioso, a partir das bases teóricas e epistemológicas que sustentavam a sua teoria sociológica, se aventurou no universo de estudos sobre música que o circundava. Nossa análise se desenvolveu em três partes. Primeiramente, discutimos os pressupostos teórico metodológicos sobre os quais estaria assentado o estudo weberiano. Em seguida, acompanhamos as principais etapas da narrativa que o sociólogo constrói sobre a racionalização da música ocidental, para, finalmente, traçarmos as linhas de uma possível interpretação dos significados dessa narrativa dentro do contexto mais amplo de sua obra. / Abstract: This work is the result of a study on the role that music plays in the work of Max Weber, focused in an interpretation of his text The rational and sociological foundations of music. Assuming it as an intersection point between the "universes" of the human sciences and of the music studies, we tried to verify how Weber appropriated himself of the analyses and reflections presented in the works that served him as a basis for the construction of his narrative about the rationalization process of the Western music; in other words, we tried understand how the author, from the theoretical and epistemological bases that underlies his sociological theory, ventured himself in the universe of studies about music that surrounded him. Our analysis is developed in three parts. Firstly, we discuss the theoretical and methodological tenets that underlies Weber's study. In following, we investigate the main steps of the narrative that he builds about the rationalization of the Western music and, finally, we draw the lines of a possible interpretation of the meanings of this narrative in the wider context of his work / Mestrado / Cultura / Mestre em Sociologia

Thesis (PhD)--University of Stellenbosch, 2011. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Max Weber’s text, The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism (1904-5), also called “the Weber thesis”, has animated debates on the relationship between religion, particularly Calvinism, and capitalism for over a century. Many studies have been done to test the validity of the relationship between religion, particularly Protestantism, and capitalism in different parts of the world. However, the case of the relationship between Calvinism and capitalism in South Africa has received limited scholarly attention. In the view of the political economist Francis Fukuyama, ‘the failure of the Calvinist Afrikaners to develop a thriving capitalist system until the last quarter of the [19th] century’ is an anomaly that needs explanation. My doctoral thesis takes up this challenge and offers an understanding of the engagement of Boers/Afrikaner Calvinists with trade, later modern industrial capitalism, from 1652 to 1948. In order to understand the South African case study — Calvinism found roots at the Cape in 1652 and is significant still today — I have employed historical sociology as my methodology. My preference was guided by Weber’s use of a form of this methodology. This allows for nuanced understandings of Calvinism and forms of capitalism at different periods in its evolution. I have employed Weberian sociological theory, including his ideal type constructs such as the Protestant ethic, bureaucracy and the spirit of capitalism, to gain greater insight. In my analysis I have also relied on Weber’s Verstehen (interpretive) frameworks to offer more nuanced results. To add to the conceptual framework, I have used Weber’s metaphor of the “switchmen” in order to trace the impact of ideas. Of course, the focus is on Calvin’s ideas as they were reintroduced at different periods in South African Calvinist history: often to suit new socio-political conditions and material interests. I trace the values of the Protestant ethic and the attitudes expressing the spirit of capitalism, following Weber, through an investigation of bureaucratisation of business and government. I show the increased convergence of the Afrikaner Calvinist volk with the spirit of modern industrial capitalism in the early 20th century through the call by the elite among the Afrikaners acting as ideological “switchmen” through their ideas and wanting to alleviate poverty amongst the group. Finally, the thesis shows the validity of the Weber thesis and its use for the study of Afrikaner Calvinism, including in period that follows after 1948. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Max Weber se teks, The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism (1904-5), ook genoem “die Weber tesis”, het debatte oor die verhouding tussen religie, veral Calvinisme, en kapitalisme vir meer as ‘n eeu geanimeer. Daar is vele studies wat poog om die geldigheid van ‘n verband tussen religie, veral Protestantisme en kapitalisme in ander dele van die wêreld te beoordeel. Die verhouding tussen Calvinisme en kapitalisme in Suid Afrika het egter beperkte akademiese ondersoek gekry. Na die siening van die politieke ekonoom Francis Fukuyama is “die onvermoë van die Calvinistiese Afrikaners om ‘n welvarende kapitalistiese stelsel te ontwikkel tot voor die laaste kwart van die [19de] eeu” ‘n anomalie wat verduideliking benodig. My doktorale tesis neem die uitdaging aan en bied insig in die verband tussen Afrikaner Calvinisme en handel, later, moderne industriële kapitalisme, van 1652 tot 1948. Historiese sosiologie, gelei deur ‘n Weberiaanse benadering, is as metodologie toegepas om insig te kry in die Suid-Afrikaanse gevallestudie – Calvinisme vestig in die Kaap in 1652 en is tans nog betekenisvol. Dit het my in staat gestel om ‘n genuanseerde begrip van Calvinisme en die vorms van kapitalisme in verskillende tydperke in sy evolusie te ontwikkel. Weberiaanse sosiale teorie, insluitend sy ideale tipes konsepte, soos die Protestante etiek, burokrasie en die gees van kapitalisme is toegepas om beter insig te kry. In my analise het ek op Weber se Verstehen (interpretatiewe) raamwerke gesteun om meer genuanseerde resultate op te lewer. Weber se metafoor van die “switchmen” is aangewend om die nalatenskap van idees te volg. Die fokus is natuurlik veral op die wyse waarop Calvyn se idees herhaaldelik gebruik is gedurende verskillende tydperke in Suid-Afrikaanse Calvinistiese geskiedenis: soms om nuwe sosio-politieke kondisies en materiële belange te bevredig. Ek het die waardes van die Protestante etiek en houdings wat, volgens Weber, die gees van kapitalisme uitdruk, in die burokratisering van besigheid en regering ondersoek. Ek het toenemende konvergensie tussen die Afrikaner Calvinistiese volk en die gees van moderne industriële kapitalisme in die vroeë 20e eeu, gevoed deur die oproep van die elite onder die Afrikaners wat waarneem as ideologiese “switchmen” deur hulle idees in die poging om armoede onder die groep te verlig, uitgelig. Laastens, die tesis bewys die geldigheid van die Weber tesis en sy toepassing in die studie van Afrikaner Calvinisme, insluitend die tydperk wat volg na 1948.
