尊严与英雄:马克斯·韦伯的价值追求

Honor and Hero:the Value Orientation of Max Weber

作为社会学的开创者,马克斯·韦伯在整体思想与方法论方面均体现出了科学家所应有的价值中立倾向。然而,方法论可以价值中立,思想家必然有其价值倾向。从探讨方法论入手,可以发掘出韦伯思想背后潜藏的价值倾向,进而更好地理解韦伯其人及其思想。通过科学方法重整国家秩序是韦伯的核心目标,而胸怀"尊严"而非"道德"的、力挽狂澜的悲剧英雄,则是韦伯内心的最高价值追求。

As the founder of Sociology, Max Weber tried to stay value-free in his theory construction and methodology. However, the methodology can be valued free, but the man stands behind it can＇t. By considering about the premises and methodology of Max Weber, we can figure out the value orientation behind and have a much deeper understanding about Weber himself and his thought. On- ly from this research can we figure out that reconstructing the political order of motherland is Weber＇ s ultimate goal, and the responsible tragic hero, treasuring ＂Honor＂ instead of ＂Morality＂, pursuing the highest value in Weber＇s heart.
