Go: Navigation, Search, Max Weber Biography on April 21 in a large wealthy family in Germany then - Prussia, Thuringia in the city of Erfurt, Maximilian Karl Emil Weber Max Weber, the future economist, the creator of “understanding sociology” and the theory of social actions were born. In total, Max had six brothers and sisters. At the age of four years, the child suffered meningitis.

Alfred, Brother Max, was born in the year and subsequently followed in his footsteps. The mother of the future scientist-Elena in the girlishness of Fallenstein, in whose veins the blood of the Huguenots flowed, who once emigrated from France, was vividly interested in politics, actively engaged in religion, even wrote several scientific works. The father of Max Max Sr. was in the National Liberal Party, held a high state post.

After some time, the family moved to Berlin, where Max's childhood and youth passed. He entered the Heidelberg University at eighteen years. There, Weber, along with the right, also diligently studies history, economics, philosophy. He successfully combined his studies with the work of the younger lawyer. Soon in the year, the young man defends the dissertation, and will marry four years later.

The chosen one of the weber was his second cousin, the future activist of the feminists Marianna Shnniger. Weber's labor achievements in particular, his glory and recognition as a specialist in the field of sociology was brought by Work, analyzing the causes of the migration of Polish workers in Germany and analyzing the alleged consequences of this phenomenon. By thirty -three years, a young man is one of the youngest professors of political economy at the University of Friburg.

A feature of Weber's views on all the events taking place in society was that he refracted them through the prism of history. At present, in particular, his judgments about the inadmissibility of imposing on students of his opinion, in any matters, were relevant in particular. From those, in turn, it is necessary to demand to rise above any personal preferences, opinions, motives and appeal only by facts, even with a negative attitude towards them.

Weber's views on religion a little later in the year, having received a major inheritance, Weber received the long -awaited opportunity to do science. The cornerstone of most works is the rationality considered by scientists from all sides and in interaction with other categories: science, art, management and especially religion. With the last phenomenon, he, in turn, has a very difficult relationship.

Supervising sociology from all areas of science as a whole and stubbornly moving in a given direction, Weber is aware that he receives completely unexpected results. In the words of his colleagues in the workshop, he “spaces” religion, deprives it of the halo of mystery and incredited, for which this social institution was created. Any phenomena are considered by scientists exclusively in close connection with the reaction of people.

And only success is a criterion for rationality. Weber insists that a traditional action is carried out through a habit. In parallel with theoretical research, Max Weber manifests himself as a conscious citizen of his country. He advises the government, in years he fulfills state instructions in Budapest, Vienna, Brussels, acts as a developer of the Weimar constitution.

The scientist died in the heyday of the creative forces from the Spanish Pandemia flu - a year after his anniversary at 56, but his memory is alive, and his works are in demand.
