AGUILAR, Luis F.. Modernity, Rationality, Effectiveness: in remembrance of Max Weber. Espiral (Guadalaj.) [online]. 2020, vol.27, n.78-79, pp.9-45. Epub 12-Fev-2021. ISSN 1665-0565. https://doi.org/10.32870/eees.v28i78-79.7204.
In remembrance of the centennial of Max Weber’s death, the following article is structured around three main sections. The first part starts with his main methodological assumptions and ideas on the sociology as science, which is followed by Weber’s reasoning on the modernization of western society as a final result of the social development and affirmation of rational action in the key relations of social life. The last section concludes with an analysis of the public bureaucracy and the effectiveness of democratic government within a mass society, as well as Weber’s distinction between science, politics and ethics.
