Os anos de 2020, 2021 e 2022 formam um triênio memorável para a teoria weberiana. Em 2020 nós rememoramos os 100 anos de falecimento de Weber. Em 2021, comemoramos o jubileu da publicação póstuma da grandiosa obra “Economia e Sociedade” [Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft] - considerada a mais importante obra sociológica do século XX, segundo pesquisa de opinião do Comitê do Programa de Congresso da ISA (International Sociological Association). No ano vindouro, 2022, relembraremos o centenário dos “Ensaios Reunidos de Sociologia da Religião” [Gesammelte Aufsätze zur Wissenschaftslehre].  Cem anos se passaram desde as publicações inaugurais de Weber e elas ainda são uma fonte inexorável de aprendizados, seja através da análise de seus aspectos histórico-hermenêuticos, seja na discussão sobre sua a atualidade. As publicações do professor Dr. Stephen Kalberg, um expoente da exegese especializada, demonstram a capacidade de leitura dos fenômenos atuais que a teoria weberiana possui. Stephen Kalberg é professor do Departamento de Sociologia da Universidade de Boston e autor de inúmeros artigos de impacto, dentre os quais destacamos Max Weber's types of rationality: Cornerstones for the analysis of rationalization processes in history. No recente livro Searching the Spirit of American Democracy: Max Weber on a Unique Political Culture, Past Present, and Future (obra traduzida para o francês, grego, italiano, japonês, português – no prelo, espanhol e coreano), por exemplo, o autor recorre reconstrói a especificidade do espírito da democracia americana de modo a evidenciar a atualidade da obra de Weber.

Spirit Of Capitalism

In his essay ?The Protestant Ethic? Max Weber explains the specific economic development and the foundation of capitalism in Western Europe due to the appearance of protestant sects and the ?spirit of capitalism?. By doing so, Weber assigns religion a significant place among the factors of social and economic development. Taking Weber?s theory and argumentation as a starting point, this article drafts a thesis on ?orthodox ethic? and determines its role in the development of the ?spirit of capitalism? in orthodox countries. For that purpose this article compares political-historical circumstances on the territory of the Western and Eastern Church on one, and pictures the theological-philosophical basis of both Protestantism and Orthodoxy on the other side.

Abstract The attack on the US Capitol on January 6, 2021 was extraordinary. Analysts and commentators quickly attributed the attack as having been motivated by “populism” without much nuance or recognition of the diversity of voices and attitudes embedded in the insurrection. This commentary assesses the populist ideas and attitudes expressed by the insurrectionists in an effort to understand why they felt drawn to Washington, D.C. that day, as well as why they felt their attack on the U.S. Capitol was legitimate. In so doing, it addresses the particular ways the insurrectionists framed and legitimated their attack (at least to themselves). The January 6 insurrection was an extraordinary attack on American democracy, but it was related to deep themes and elements of US political culture. Understanding those dynamics is crucial to preventing such attacks in the future.

Cross Fertilization

Reflecting on his academic exile in the United States, the Germanpolitical scientist Franz L. Neumann emphasized the cross-fertilizationof ideas as a result of the confrontation of different scientific andpolitical cultures.1 According to Neumann, the migration of hundredsof European academics to the United States led to a growinginternationalization of the social sciences and a two-way learningprocess. The Europeans became accustomed to the practice of theAmerican liberal democracy and learned to value its political culture;émigré scholars, on the other hand, brought with them a differentacademic Denkstil and contributed to a more critical self-understandingof American democratic theory.

The Way

“How can we think of peace? And when?”, Max Weber asks in a letter to Ferdinand Tönnies, in 14 October 1914. This article focuses on the concept of “successful” peace, the decisive concept for Weber’s ideas about the “way out of the war” that the author refined between 1914–1918 in his speeches, texts and letters. For Weber, a successful peace depended not only on the foreign policy dimension but even more on important inner reforms and a fundamental reorganisation of the German Reich. Analysing Weber’s “ideas of 1918” – radically opposed to the well-known “ideas of 1914” – this paper focuses on three aspects: (1) nation and state citizens (2) Prussia, (3) German tradition, history and political culture, before outlining, at the end, Weber’s ideas about the European post-war order.
