Max Weber i niemiecka klęska
Max Weber and the German defeat

Summary/Abstract: The author presents the views of Max Weber, a German sociologist, historian and political theorist on war and Germany’s responsibility for its outbreak. Max Weber (1864-1920) belonged to a generation in which condemnation of war as such was rare while the cult of armed combat as a test of individual fitness and collective organization was not infrequent. Like many of his contemporaries Weber claimed war to be an admissible, at times even a desirable way of regulating international conflicts. He considered politics in Darwinist categories i.e. in terms of ruthless rivalry and struggle for power played out inside and among countries.
