Document Summary

Weber is well aware of economic stages. He thinks that in the egrarian era, there is an opening out to different world civilizations because of the impact of world religions. He is different from marx because in the egrarian era, there are different superstructures based on agriculture. In the industrial world, weber is well aware that a single mode of production produce or allow different ways of running it. There is an interpretation of weber parsons. First translates weber brings webe(cid:396) to a(cid:373)e(cid:396)i(cid:272)a i(cid:374) the (cid:1005)93(cid:1004)"s. Parsons said that if you thi(cid:374)k of the o(cid:396)igi(cid:374)al s(cid:455)ste(cid:373), : weber when talking about protestantism, he says you need to think about whether religion is aesthetic or not or (cid:449)hethe(cid:396) it"s this-worldly or not. It seems as if protestantism is this worldly and aethestic, we can now sort of suggest what might be in the other squares aesthetic and other-worldly would be monastism particularly buddhist monatsism.
