主题:Marx, Sombart, Weber and the Debate about the Genesis of Modern Capitalism
报告人:Bertram Schefold,德国法兰克福大学歌德讲席教授
摘要:It is popular to associate capitalism with the Industrial Revolution, and people tend to think that modern capitalism originated in a series of specific events in Western Europe. But the meaning of Capitalism as a term per se is really complex. For Karl Marx who is associated closely with this term, capitalism is only mentioned once and it only has technical meaning. Sombart and Weber added not only “spiritual” dimensions but also historical dimensions into the research on capitalism. They investigated different forms of capitalism, which existed in Antiquity and the Medieval Age. Schefold will also present how the California School which holds that the birth of capitalism was a coincidence confronts the intellectual tradition which Marx, Sombart and Weber belong to.
