Рационалност и модерен капитализъм в контекста на Веберовата работа с генетични понятия
Rationality and Modern Capitalism in the Context of Max Weber’s Work with Genetic Concepts

Summary/Abstract: This paper will follow approximately the following strategy. First of all, I will briefly show what the logic of Weber's work with genetic – as opposed to classifying – concepts is and what possibilities it opens for historical theoretical consideration. I will then follow some possible results from the application of this logic to the concepts of ‘rationalism’(‘Western rationalism’) and ‘capitalism’ (‘modern capitalism’). Special emphasis will be placed on some specific configurations (historical encounters) that such work on rationalism and capitalism comes across, but I will show that these mongrel formations also highlight the fields of possible disintegration. All this, as I will summarize in the end, allows us to shed additional light on the interrelationship between rationality and capitalism.Finally, rather as a promise of future work, I will briefly consider a different (J. Schumpeter's)vision of the relationship between rationality and capitalism, which nevertheless stems from Weber's contexts.
