Dijalog Kanta i Vebera: odnos između etike, vrednosti i društvenog delanja u Veberovoj razumevajućoj metodologiji
The dialogue between Kant and Weber: The relationship between ethics values and social action in Webers understanding methodology

Summary/Abstract: In this paper, methodological and epistemological solutions will bediscussed and additionally problematized in terms of the study of the relationshipbetween values and social action in the methodological program of one of theclassics of sociology – Max Weber. We will show how Weber defines values andhow, as one of the crucial elements, he positions them in his methodology andepistemology. The discussion will be theoretically contextualized within the framework of Weber’s distinction between the ethics of responsibility and the ethicsof conviction, since these are concepts that more closely connect both mentionedsubjects of research. Also, it will be the basis for considering the impact of Kant’stheoretical system on Weber’s epistemology, and consequently methodology,which we believe (more or less indirectly) shaped the epistemological thought ofthis classic. Finally, we will offer a critique of certain shortcomings in Weber’smethodology, primarily those concerning the concept of value neutrality and hismethodological individualism.
