SOCIOLOGY - Max Weber

Max Weber explained that modern capitalism was born not because of new technology or new financial instruments. What started it all off was religion.

I really love that rattling sound at the beginning of your videos. It's like signalling my brain that I'm going to learn something new and interesting, and that makes me feel good. :)

This video doesn't take into account Weber's pluralistic view/explanations of social phenomena.

Weber did not suggest that Protestantism was the only means by which capitalism was formed. He said protestants were "overepresented" in capitalism. He suggests that there must be other reasons why capitalism was formed as he was going against Marx's view that one explanation can explain social phenomena.

The School of Life, please do Hegel! :D Thumbs up so they can see! :D

How come it took me so long to come across this channel? It's absolutely amazing. I'm quenching my thirst of knowledge. Thank you!!

This video is misleading. Max Weber never said that capitalism was created by protestantism. He said that, among several other factors (economical, technological, law codification, new kind of rationality), a specific form of religiosity (ascetic protestantism) had some uninentional influence on the development of A specific form of capitalism which is the modern enterprise capitalism. Just read the book

[nothanks]

Don't you love it when someone so eloquently voices what you're thinking; I am a fan of Weber if this video is anyghing to go by. Thanks for the video.

Weber was one of the founding fathers of sociology along with Durkheim and Marx.A towering intellectual.

These videos are doing so well to satisfy a much needed way to spread important concepts that aren't included in most general schooling curricula, which has lead to an uninformed population universally. Hopefully this channel continues to gain traction because there's a lot of important stuff here which would help to improve the way we think about the systems we have in place now, and to analyse them a lot more critically and bring more diverse thinking to the table, as opposed to leaving it in the hands of the bureaucratic elite at present. I'm learning so much from your channel and videos, thank you!!

Will The School of Life look at modern philosophers and political theorists? I'd love to see a video on Slavoj Žižek

[ourivesz]

sociology always blows my mind and that's why I love it so much

[Gigudrion]

Hello I'm new here but I already love your channel. Are you planning on adding subtitles tho? It's a little bit hard to understand some moments for non-english speakers. Thanks :)

[DHGameStudios]

This was so very interesting, and oddly still very much relevant.

[CrackThoseClaws]

I am so using this for my class!!

nah, actually studying Weber is more complex and requires a lot of time
shit I hope I don't fail tomorrow

[OliVia-oouj]

As a philosophy lover, I really enjoy your videos and as a designer, I really love your motion graphics. Definitely one of my favourite channels!

[nunomorales]

Dear School of Life, I would like to add that the Disenchantment of World, was not caused only by Clavinism, but by also the Buracratisation of the Authority in Modern Society.
Love your channel

[brodman]

So good. I've got my sociology exam tomorrow. Pretty sure I learned more from this video about Weber's views than from the ten's of pages in my text book which state his ideas.
Thank you

[faramaruf]

Hi! I love your videos, and I find them extremely helpful for my Sociology AS level. Can you do a video on other sociological perspectives such as functionalism (Durkheim, :) Thank you xx

[Fanaro]

Wow, I had never heard so many concepts with such relevance to the brazilian society as whole. Many of the ideas I already knew but never with such amazing brilliance.
