About this ebook
»Was ist [...] der Sinn der Wissenschaft als Beruf, da alle diese früheren Illusionen: ›Weg zum wahren Sein‹, ›Weg zur wahren Kunst‹, ›Weg zur wahren Natur‹, ›Weg zum wahren Gott‹, ›Weg zum wahren Glück‹, versunken sind. Die einfachste Antwort hat Tolstoi gegeben mit den Worten: ›Sie ist sinnlos, weil sie auf die allein für uns wichtige Frage: ›Was sollen wir tun? Wie sollen wir leben?‹ keine Antwort gibt.‹ Die Tatsache, daß sie diese Antwort nicht gibt, ist schlechthin unbestreitbar. Die Frage ist nur, in welchem Sinne sie ›keine‹ Antwort gibt, und ob sie statt dessen nicht doch vielleicht dem, der die Frage richtig stellt, etwas leisten könnte.« (Aus dem Text)
About the author
Max Weber, a German political economist, legal historian, and sociologist, had an impact on the social sciences that is difficult to overestimate. According to a widely held view, he was the founder of the modern way of conceptualizing society and thus the modern social sciences. His major interest was the process of rationalization, which characterizes Western civilization---what he called the "demystification of the world." This interest led him to examine the three types of domination or authority that characterize hierarchical relationships: charismatic, traditional, and legal. It also led him to the study of bureaucracy; all of the world's major religions; and capitalism, which he viewed as a productof the Protestant ethic. With his contemporary, the French sociologist Emile Durkheim---they seem not to have known each other's work---he created modern sociology.
