Скачать или смотреть "The Protestant Work Ethic Is Only Half the Story" by O.G. Rose

The “Protestant Work Ethic” that the sociological Max Weber identified in Protestantism is not the description of an essential dimension of Protestantism, but the description of a symptom of something deeper. That deeper problem in Protestantism is its susceptibility to Heideggerian and Deleuzian “capture” due to the Protestant rejection of “sacramental ontology.”

In other words, because Protestants don’t believe the universe entails a divine order that can be “discovered,” Protestants are susceptible to being controlled by the socioeconomic systems, technologies, moods, and so on of the day. When Weber identified the Protestant Work Ethic, Capitalism just happened to be the system that Protestantism was “captured by” at the time. This does not mean Weber was wrong in his observation, only that he was wrong if he thought the Protestant Work Ethic described something essential about Protestantism versus something accidental or conditional. Personally, I don’t think Weber did (he was a sociologist, after all, focused on the level of culture), but the Protestant Work Ethic can still enter the popular imagination as otherwise.
