Worldly asceticism as the ethic of vocation in the interpretation of max weber

Abstract

The explosive power of Max Weber's thesis derived from the correlation of two concepts, Protestantism and capitalism. The words capitalism or spirits of capitalism are used in a very particular sense. They mean no less than the entire inner structure governing Western society's attitudes. Not only its economy but also its legal system, its political structure, its institutionalized sciences and technology, its mathematically based music and architecture. Its economic modes of operation, works discipline and accountancy methods are all regarded as a whole life is rationality by Max Weber.

Max weber'in yorumunda meslek ahlakı olarak dünyevi asketikizm

Abstract

Max Weber'in hararetle tartışılan tezi, Protestanlık ve kapitalizm olmak üzere iki kavramdan kaynaklanmıştır. Kapitalizm veya kapitalizmin ruhu kelimeleri, çok özel anlamları içinde kullanılmaktadır. Bu kavramlar, Batı toplumunun içyapısını bütünüyle hükmü altına alan tutumlarından başka bir anlamı taşımamaktaydı. Yalnızca ekonomiyle değil, yasal sistemiyle, siyasal yapısıyla, kurumsallaşmış bilim ve teknoloji dokusuyla, matematiksel bir temele oturmuş müziğiyle ve mimarisiyle bütünlük göstermekteydi. İşlerin ekonomik yürütülüşü, Max Weber tarafından bir bütün olarak ekonomik hayatın rasyonelleşmesi olarak dikkate alınan, çalışma disiplini ve muhasebe esaslarına göre işlemektedir.
