Max Weber nejznámější citáty

„Učené ženy jsou v domácnosti stejně zlá pohroma jako ženy hysterické. Učená, citlivá, galantní dáma znající bonton, a dále pobožnůstkářka, to jsou čtyři hlavní rány, kterými Mojžíš zapomněl trestat Egypťany. Každá o sobě stačí udělat z nejrozumnějšího muže blázna, a z nejšťastnějšího pak nejnešťastnějšího tvora na světě.“

Max Weber

„Socialismus je pokus nahradit „anarchii trhu a dosáhnout větší rovnosti pomocí společenského plánování. Toto by však vedlo k nesmírnému nárůstu byrokracie moci, jehož následkem by byla nesvoboda a ekonomická stagnace.“

Max Weber

„Šťastný člověk je zřídkakdy spokojen s tím, že má štěstí. Kromě toho potřebuje vědět, že má právo na své štěstí. Chce být přesvědčen, že si to zaslouží, a především, že si to zasluhuje ve srovnání s ostatními… dobré štěstí chce tudíž být legitimním štěstím.“

„Politický boss je politický kapitalistický podnikatel, který na svůj účet a na vlastní nebezpečí opatřuje volební hlasy.“

„Kdo ví něco o světě, ten vlastně nemůže seznávat nic jiného než tuto mnohost a to, že se jí nemůžeme vyhnout.“

Max Weber: Citáty anglicky

“Sociology is the science whose object is to interpret the meaning of social action and thereby give a causal explanation of the way in which the action proceeds and the effects which it produces. By "action" in this definition is meant the human behaviour when and to the extent that the agent or agents see it as subjectively meaningful […] the meaning to which we refer may be either (a) the meaning actually intended either by an individual agent on a particular historical occasion or by a number of agents on an approximate average in a given set of cases, or (b) the meaning attributed to the agent or agents, as types, in a pure type constructed in the abstract. In neither case is the "meaning" to be thought of as somehow objectively "correct" or "true" by some metaphysical criterion. This is the difference between the empirical sciences of action, such as sociology and history and any kind of a priori discipline, such as jurisprudence, logic, ethics, or aesthetics whose aim is to extract from their subject-matter "correct" or "valid" meaning.”

Max Weber, The Nature of Social Action, 1922

“The capacity for the accomplishment of religious virtuosos — the “intellectual sacrifice”— is the decisive characteristic of the positively religious man. That this is so is shown by the fact that in spite of (or rather in consequence) of theology (which unveils it) the tension between the value-spheres of “science” and the sphere of “the holy” is unbridgeable.”

“The Confucian aspirant to office, stemming from the old tradition, could hardly help viewing a specialized, professional training of European stamp as anything but a conditioning in the dirtiest Philistinism. … The fundamental assertion, ‘a cultured man is not a tool’ meant that he was an end in himself and not just a means for a specified useful purpose.”

“Luther understands monasticism as a product of an egoistic lovelessness that withdraws from one's duties in the world. By contrast, this-worldly work in a vocation appears to him to be a visible expression of brotherly love, a notion he anchors in a highly unrealistic manner indeed and in contrast—almost grotesquely—to the well-known passages of Adam Smith.”

“The more a religion is aware of its opposition in principle to economic rationalization as such, the more apt are the religion’s virtuosi to reject the world, especially its economic activities.”

“Above all, as will be repeatedly apparent in the sections below, fundamental for our discussion is the investigation of the idea of a testifying to one's belief as the psychological point of origin for methodical ethics.”

Max Weber's last words (1920), as quoted in Prophets of Yesterday : Studies in European Culture, 1890-1914 (1961) by Gerhard Masur, p. 201

“Politics means a strong slow drilling of hard boards, with passion and judgment at the same time.”

Max Weber

German: "Die Politik bedeutet ein starkes langsames Bohren von harten Brettern mit Leidenschaft und Augenmaß zugleich."
"Politics as a Vocation" (1919)

“The problem — the experience of the irrationality of the world — has been the driving force of all religious evolution. The Indian doctrine of karma, Persian dualism, the doctrine of original sin, predestination and the deus absconditus, all these have grown out of this experience. Also the early Christians knew full well the world is governed by demons and that he who lets himself in for politics, that is, for power and force as means, contracts with diabolical powers and for his action it is not true that good can follow only from good and evil only from evil, but that often the opposite is true. Anyone who fails to see this is, indeed, a political infant.”

“Both as ruling and ruled strata and both as a majority and minority, Protestants … have demonstrated a specific tendency toward economic rationalism.”

Max Weber kniha The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism

This tendency has not been observed in the same way in the present or the past among Catholics, regardless of whether they were the dominant or dominated stratum or constituted a majority or minority. Therefore the cause of the different behavior must be mainly sought in the enduring inner quality of these religions and not only in their respective historical-political external situations.
