Abstract
Main description
(01)
|
The major contribution of Max Weber, according to the author, is to be seen in the concept of the “modern world” and its destiny
as a society based on rational calculation. Such modern rationality is technically equipped and formal from a logical point
of view. It provides a link between desired social goals and available resources to reach them. It is also a challenge for
the decision-making power groups, unable to face the consequences of such rationality that begins as a liberation from traditional
values and ends up in some sort of “steel cage”. Weber does not seem capable of suggesting a way out of this social and political
contradiction.
