马克斯·韦伯是19世纪末20世纪初德国最伟大的思想家,学界关于他的争议不断,尤其是关于他是民族主义者还是自由主义者的争议最为激烈。当我们探究其思想内核时我们会发现,韦伯既是个民族主义者,又是一个自由主义者,并且其自由主义思想是依附于他的民族主义思想,二者在韦伯一人身上形成了共生关系。 Max Weber was Germany’s greatest thinker at the end of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Disputes over his work continued in the academic circles. In particular, the controversy over whether he was a nationalist or a liberal was the most intense. As we explore its inner core of thought, we find that Weber was both a nationalist and a liberal, and that his liberal ideology was attached to his nationalist ideology. Both formed a symbiotic relationship with Weber.
