资本主义精神背后的宗教动力——读《新教伦理与资本主义精神》有感

The Religious Motive Behind The Spirit of Capitalism——The feeling after reading《The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism》

关于宗教改革与现代资本主义之间存在的关联性研究,此前已有许多学者进行过此类研究,但是韦伯在此作出了一番新颖的解释,指出新教伦理与资本主义精神之间的内在亲和性:通过正当的经济活动而全力地投身于财富的追求,与避免把这样得来的钱财用于个人享乐,两者独特地结合在一起。这是韦伯在《新教伦理与资本主义精神》这本书中阐述的主题。

Weber has made a novel explanation of the research on the relevance between the religious reforms and modern capitalism,although many scholars have done such kind researches before then.Weber has pointed out the inner affinity between the protestant ethic and the spirit of capitalism： devoting oneself to the pursuit of wealth through legitimate economic activities and avoiding using these money only for personal enjoyment,both the two join each other together.This is the theme Weber states in the book The Protestant Ethic And The Spirit of Capitalism.
