Get PDFMAGIC, RATIONALITY, AND MAX WEBER
No full textThe notion of magic is central to Weber's empirical studies. His usage is examined and found inadequate; magic restricts the style of social change, but does not prohibit it. A more appropriate definition, in terms of world view, is proposed. Since northern European history reveals a native pattern of individualism and hostility to magic, the question arises whether Protestantism is simply an emergent of tendencies vdthin Christianity or rather a nativistic movement against, and reinterpretation of, a foreign religion. Examination of recent world events also serves to raise questions about Weber's theory that the power of magic could only be disrupted by great, rational prophecy.http://web.ku.edu/~starjrn
