    1. "The Gods of Greece" ("Die Götter Griechenlandes") is a 1788 poem by the German writer Friedrich Schiller. It was first published in Wieland's Der Teutsche Merkur, with a second, shorter version (with much of its controversial content removed) published by Schiller himself in 1800. Schiller's poem proved influential in light of German Philhellenism and seems to have influenced later German thinkers' views on history, Paganism and myth, possibly including Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel and Max Weber.

    1. Beyond the web of stories the founding generation itself wove, ourmodern beliefs have most to do with the grand mythmakers of thenineteenth century. The inspired historians of that period were nearly allNew Englanders; they outpaced all others in shaping the historicalnarrative, so that the dominant story of origins worked in their favor. That ishow we got the primordial Puritan narrative of a sentimental communityand a commendable work ethic.

      A fascinating thesis about American historical perspective and our identity.

      Does this play out with respect to Max Weber's thesis?

    1. Lamprecht's ambitious Deutsche Geschichte (13 vols., 1891-1908) on the whole trajectory of German history sparked a famous Methodenstreit (methodological dispute) within Germany's academic history establishment, especially Max Weber, who habitually referred to Lamprecht as a mere dilettante. Lamprecht came under criticism from scholars of legal and constitutional history like Friedrich Meinecke and Georg von Below for his lack of methodological rigor and inattention to important political trends and ideologies. As a result, Lamprecht and his students were marginalized by German academia, and interdisciplinary social history remained something of a taboo among German historians for much of the twentieth century.

    1. Verstehen (German pronunciation: [fɛɐˈʃteːən], lit. transl. "to understand"), in the context of German philosophy and social sciences in general, has been used since the late 19th century – in English as in German – with the particular sense of the "interpretive or participatory" examination of social phenomena.[1] The term is closely associated with the work of the German sociologist Max Weber, whose antipositivism established an alternative to prior sociological positivism and economic determinism, rooted in the analysis of social action.[2] In anthropology, Verstehen has come to mean a systematic interpretive process in which an outside observer of a culture attempts to relate to it and understand others.

    1. Weber left home and lived in poverty while working as a street-corner evangelist and social activist for two years with the evangelical Church Army Workers, an organization similar to the Salvation Army, preaching and singing hymns on street corners and singing and playing the organ in rescue missions in red-light districts in Pittsburgh and New York,[13][33] until the Church Army Workers disbanded in 1900.

      This is interesting background given her subsequent blockbuster film Where are My Children? (Universal Studios, 1916) which covered abortion and birth control.

    1. we found this extraordinary paper from 1951 I think by Goldschmidt Walter Goldschmidt which nobody's read it has 00:29:14 got a very strange title something like a contribution to ethical and philosophical sociology or something which tells you very little about its content but it's about these Californian foragers who live next door to the 00:29:27 highly aristocratic slave keeping fishermen of the northwest coast and what Goldschmidt who was a student of Alfred Kroeber I believe the great sort of Dayan of 00:29:40 California anthropology what he argues there point four point is that these Californian hunter-gatherers actually had a kind of work ethic which is remarkably similar to what Max Weber 00:29:54 classically described as the Protestant work ethic of central and northern Europe

      Walter Goldschmidt had a 1951 paper about coastal Californian foragers next to aristocratic slave keeping fishermen. These hunter-gatherers apparently had a work ethic similar to that of Max Weber's Protestant work ethic.

      Did these fishermen have totem poles (aka decorated wood


      Goldschmidt was a student of Alfred Kroeber. Would he have known or worked with Milman Parry?


      Kroeber received his PhD under Franz Boas at Columbia University in 1901, the first doctorate in anthropology awarded by Columbia.

      Este pequeño fragmento del texto nos pone a pensar un poco sobre la formulacion de las teorias y como para cada una existen argumentos que pueden ser validos o no para refrutar nuestra hipotesis inicial o nuestros fundamentos teoricos

    2. «La prueba más convincente del conocimiento verdaderamente acumulativo», afirma Merton, «es que inteligencias del montón pueden resolver hoy problemas que, tiempo atrás, grandes inteligencias no podían siquiera comenzar a resolver». En una verdadera ciencia, por tanto, «la conmemoración de los que en el pasado hicieron grandes aportaciones está esencialmente reservada a la historia de la disciplina

      Este parrafo en cierta parte tiene razon ya que desde el momento de la aportacion a una ciencia, hasta hoy en dia han pasado miles de años por lo que la sociedad se va desarrollando y se pueden resolver problemas tan complejos que en aquellos tiempo simplemente seria una locura

    1. Por otro lado, de Inmanuel Kant parte Weber para construir su teoría de los tipos ideales, “categorías-tipo” o “conceptos-tipo”

      “Max Weber,100 años después” escrito por @damianpachon1 publicado en la revista @RevistaSemana, un artículo en donde se enmarca la transcendencia de la obra de Max Weber. Aunado a lo anterior me surge como interrogante ¿Cuáles son los tipos ideales mencionados en el texto con referencia a Inmanuel Kant? Me ha parecido muy interesante el artículo por lo que le pido me comparta cuáles son sus fuentes de consulta al realizar sus trabajos de investigación.

    2. Max Weber, 100 años después

      El artículo “Max Weber, 100 años después” es un texto introductorio sobre la vida, teoría y obras de Max Weber, a grandes rasgos. Me resultó útil, ya que explica de manera resumida el contexto histórico en que se encontraba este clásico.

      Me gustaría preguntarle al autor ¿Por qué decidió escribir sobre Max Weber? y ¿A qué público esperaba llegar con este artículo?

    1. Though he doesnot discuss mnemonics, Thomas Sloane similarly argues that classical invention—a process thattakes not only logic but also“sense, imagination, and emotions”into consideration—is irreparablyneutered by Ramism (137).

      This makes me wonder what the relation of this mode of "limited" thinking (represented by Ramism) has with Max Weber's ideas of Protestant work ethic? If we're not being creative like we may have been in the past, does it help us to focus on the mundane drudgery of our work at hand?

    1. The extreme case is found in so-called ritual transmission of charisma.

      καθημερινοποίηση: ίσως τα ράσα τελικά να κάνουν τον παππά: όπως το χάρισμα μεταδίδεται και φέρεται από τα αντικείμενα έτσι και άλλοι ενδείκτες της κυριαρχίας αντικειμενικοποιούνται έτσι στα δραματουργικά μέσα.

      Quote for Weber

    1. The working consensus orients toward a particular definition of the situation, which includes status and roles. But for different settings there will be different definitions of the situation, some of which include status and some not. In my classroom, for instance, I can effectively maintain my social superiority by successfully performing as a teacher. Goffman is careful to point out, however, that I can do so only through the cooperation of others. When I go home on the trolley, however, the definition of the situation does not include any particular sta

      Δηλαδή σαν το δικό μου κείμενο με το social space, ότι το ίδιο το context, η μεταμόρφωση του physical σε social space διαπερνάται από την εξουσία, δημιουργεί/δημιουργείται από την κυριαρχία. Η κυριαρχία του καθενός σε ένα αλληλεπιδραστικό πεδίο έχει ανάγκη από την αναγνώριση που προσφέρει η 'λειτουργική συναίνεση' των άλλων, ωστόσο και οι άλλοι έχουν μάθει να ανταποκρίνονται στις αξιώσεις που προβάλλει ένας ερμηνευτής με την όψη του, γιατί έχει γίνει μια δραματουργική κοινωνικοποίηση στις συλλογικές αναπαραστάσεις (που είναι οι διάφορες όψεις) μέσω μια δραματουργικής κοινωνικοποίησης. Το μοντέλο είναι αυτό του χαρίσματος: ότι το χάρισμα προβάλλει την αξίωση ότι η αναγνώριση της κυριαρχίας του χαρισματούχου είναι καθήκον του κόσμου, αλλά και το ίδιο το χάρισμα αν δεν αναγνωριστεί από τον κόσμο δεν μπορεί να είναι χάρισμα (κάπου έχεις κάνει μια σημείωση, στην Αίσθηση της Πρακτικής μάλλον, όπου λες ότι όλα είναι δηλαδή χαρισματική εξουσία; γιατί λέει ο Bourdieu ότι όλα έχουν μια συμβολική διάσταση, ότι όλα πρέπει να αναγνωριστούν για να ισχύουν, ότι πρέπει να υπάρχουν αυτές οι δομές αντίληψεις που είναι οι έξεις)

    1. A second strand in the development of the American prosperity gospel was the valorization of the “Protestant work ethic.” Written in 1905, Max Weber’s The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism traced what he saw as the specifically Protestant approach to labor as integral to the development of capitalism and industrialization. In Weber’s historical analysis, Protestant Calvinists — who generally believe in the idea of “predestination,” or that God has chosen some people to be saved and others damned — felt the need to justify their own sense of themselves as the saved. They looked both for outward signs of God’s favor (i.e., through material success) and for ways to express inward virtue (i.e., through hard work). While the accuracy of Weber’s analysis is still debated by scholars, it nevertheless tells us a lot about cultural attitudes at the time Weber wrote it.
    1. If Henrich’s history of Christianity and the West feels rushed and at times derivative—he acknowledges his debt to Max Weber—that’s because he’s in a hurry to explain Western psychology.

      This adds more to my prior comment with the addition to Max Weber here. Cross reference some of my reading this past week on his influence on the prosperity gospel.

    1. ame commanding, aggressive, cultural capi tal that offended the teachers appealed to the LSC. With deference in the eyes of the LSC, Mrs. Kox had the symbolic power to redefine the LSCs method of principal evaluation in a way that protected her from the teachers' attacks

      Δραματουργικά μέσα και Κοινό // Πρέπει να αναγνωρίζονται από το κοινό τα δραματουργικά μέσα (δες Weber-Bourdieu) Ουαου! ΠΡΟΣΕΧΕ την τοπικότητα της δραματουργίας: αυτό που γοητεύει τους "γραφειοκράτες" δεν γοητεύευ τους δασκάλους

    1. And of course, to accept the con- ventions and norms as given (and to initiate one's action accordingly), is, in effect, to put trust in those about one. Not doing so, one could hardly get on with the business at hand; one could hardly have any- business at hand.

      γιατί η αλληλεπίδραση είναι το μέσο για να κάνεις πράγματα γενικά και συγκεκριμένα, εδώ η κοινωνικοποίηση στην κοινότητα συμφέροντος

    2. Perhaps behind a willingness to accept the way things are ordered is the brutal fact of one's place in the social structure and the real or imagined cost of allowing oneself to be singled out as a malcontent

      κοινωνικοποίηση στην κοινότητα συμφέροντος, όλοι έχουν συμφέρον να συνεχιστεί η αλληλεπίδραση, ακόμη και αν ΚΑΘΑΥΤΗ η αλληλεπίδραση δεν τους συμφέρει -- κυριαρχία - δομικά στοιχεία

    1. rs. Kox's cultural capital works in this institutional context.

      Context, situation ----> τοπικότητα της δραματουργίας //// ΤΟ ΠΡΟΒΛΗΜΑ ΤΗΣ ΑΝΑΓΝΩΡΙΣΗΣ, αυτό που λέει ο Bourdieu (κι ο Weber νομίζω) ότι χρειάζεται να μπορούν οι άνθρωποι να αναγνωρίσουν ένα κεφάλαιο

    2. he "author itarian" cultural style that the teachers resent ed appealed to Stan, and he thought Kox was the best person to "take the lead" as the school navigated accountability reforms

      ΑΥΤΟ! ΤΟΠΙΚΟΤΗΤΑ ΚΑΙ SITUATION ΚΑΙ ΝΟΜΟΚΑΤΕΣΤΗΜΕΝΕΣ ΤΑΞΕΙΣ (WEBER)

    3. rs. Kox lacks the symbolic power to frame even simple things in ways that induce compliance, which makes it difficult for her to (as she said) "get things done."

    1. These three strands collided throughout the twentieth century, as the prosperity gospel came into being. It started — like the “work ethic” Max Weber described — as a way to justify why, during the Gilded Age, some people were rich and others poor. (One early prosperity gospel proponent, Baptist preacher Russell H. Conwell, told his mostly-destitute congregation in 1915: “I say you ought to be rich; you have no right to be poor.”) Instead of blaming structural inequality, Conwell and those like him blamed the perceived failures of the individual.

      This philosophy also overlaps some of the resurgence of white nationalism and structural racism in the early 1900's which also tended to disadvantage people of color. ie, we can blame the coloreds because it's not structural inequality, but the failure of the individual (and the race.)

    1. What is missing here is any serious consideration of the idea that the kind of processes Weber (1992 [1930]) attributed to modern Calvinist theology and practice – much less any kind of intentional social engagement (see Miller & Yamamori 2007) – might be evident in late‐modern Pentecostalism.

      This is a criticism of the materialism present in "occult economies" approaches to third-world Pentecostalism that uses Weber's classical work an argument for the efficacy and power of religion.

    1. Der Gerichtshof muss jedoch angesichts der Gefahr, dass ein System der geheimen Überwachung zum Schutz der nationalen Sicherheit unter dem Vorwand, die Demokratie zu verteidigen, diese unterminieren oder sogar zerstören könnte, davon überzeugt sein, dass angemessene und wirksame Garantien gegen Missbrauch vorgesehen sind
    2. Mindestgarantien entwickelt, die zur Vermeidung von Machtmissbrauch in den gesetzlichen Regelungen enthalten sein sollten: Die Art der Straftaten, die eine Überwa­chungsanordnung rechtfertigen können; eine Beschreibung der Personengruppen, bei denen Telefongespräche abgehört werden können; die Begrenzung der Dauer der Abhörmaß­nahme; das Verfahren für die Auswertung, Verwendung und Speicherung der erlangten Da­ten; die bei der Übermittlung der Daten an andere Parteien zu beachtenden Vorsichtsmaß­nahmen und die Umstände, unter denen die Aufzeichnungen gelöscht und die Bänder ver­nichtet werden müssen oder dürfen

      The six basic requirements

    3. Jedoch ist insbesondere bei der geheimen Ausübung einer der Exekutive zustehenden Befugnis die Gefahr der Willkür offensichtlich (siehe u. a. Malone, a.a.O., S. 32 Nr. 67; Huvig, a.a.O., S. 54-55, Nr. 29; und Rotaru, a.a.O., Nr. 55). Daher ist für die Überwachung von Telefonge­sprächen eine klare, detaillierte Regelung unerlässlich, insbesondere wegen der ständigen Weiterentwicklung der verfügbaren Technik (siehe Urteil Kopp ./. Schweiz vom 25. März 1998, Urteils- und Entscheidungssammlung 1998-II, S. 542-43, Nr. 72, und Urteil Valenzuela Contreras ./. Spanien vom 30. Juli 1998, Urteils- und Entscheidungssammlung 1998-V, S. 1924-25, Nr. 46). Das innerstaatliche Recht muss hinreichend klar und für die Bürger in an­gemessener Weise erkennbar darlegen, unter welchen Umständen und Bedingungen die öffentlichen Behörden befugt sind, auf solche Maßnahmen zurückzugreifen (siehe Malone, a.a.O.; Kopp, a.a.O., S. 541, Nr. 64; Huvig, a.a.O., S. 54-55, Nr. 29; und Valenzuela Contreras, a.a.O.).

    1. power (in a Weberian sense)

      Weber understands by power: the chance of a man, or a number of men "to realize their own will in communal action, even against the resistance of others."
