Max Weber and the Comparative Study of Religious Ethics
Journal of Religious Ethics 2 (2):5 - 40 (1974)
| Abstract | This essay provides an exposition and critical assessment of Weber's typology of modes of practical reasoning and substitutes for practical reasoning, as well as of his definitions of the terms "ethics" and "religion." It then examines the application of these elements of "the sociology of rationalism" to religious systems of ethics. The author points out a number of difficulties in Weber's account, but concludes by insisting that it contains insights that are indispensable for the comparative study of religious ethics. | |||||||||
