VALUE AND SUBJECTIVE MEANING: CARL MENGER'S THEORETICAL BREAKTHROUGH

Summary/Abstract: The paper focuses on a significant episode of the biography of knowledge of “modern” social sciences when the borderlines between them were not so strongly solidified as nowadays. The reconstruction of the theoretical ideas of Carl Menger whose name is predominantly associated with a revolutionary doctrine of marginal utility is being made in reference to the development of the “understanding sociology” and the impact of this almost forgotten social thinker on the formation of the theoretical concepts of Max Weber's sociology. The core of the analysis is the barely studied “tacit dialogue” between Weber and Menger and such key categories of Menger's theory as subjective value, value-endowing, knowledge and delusion, etc. Menger's theoretical concepts are treated as anticipating post-Weberian debates on rationality in the context of an opportunity for the theoretical rationality to gain access to social agent's everyday life.
