“…Ocorre que, depois do seminal trabalho de Wolfgang Mommsen sobre a teoria política de Weber (1974), caiu sobre ele a pesada acusação de um forte nacionalismo e de uma concepção meramente realista-instrumental de política (Realpolitik), leitura que ainda encontra forte eco no Brasil (Cohn, 2016, p.143-56;Mata, 2020). Logo Weber, o teórico cosmopolita par excellence (Roth, 2002)? A reação foi tamanha (especialmente por parte de Johanes Winckelmann (1952) e Karl Löwenstein (1961) que Mommsen (1974) não só apresentou uma edição revisada da obra, como, ao final, acabou por expressar-se em termos menos unilaterais, preferindo falar de um "liberalismo ambivalente" (Mommsen, 1982).…”

resumo Qual o liberalismo de Weber? Após a crítica de algumas das interpretações vigente no Brasil, argumenta-se que o liberalismo ético-agonístico de Weber é de natureza multidimensional e desdobra-se tanto no plano existencial quanto no plano coletivo do social e do político. Partindo do fato de que a cultura moderna é marcada pelo pluralismo e pelo conflito de valores, Weber apregoa um liberalismo social que defende a livre-organização dos grupos sociais e um liberalismo político-institucional no qual Estado e capitalismo, por um lado, e o conjunto das instituições políticas, por outro, operam em tensão permanente, bem como atuam como um sistema de pesos e contrapesos que visa manter aberto o espaço da luta pela liberdade.

“…Some might point out that many American sociologists had been inspired by European thinkers and, as recent scholarship shows, those European thinkers were themselves writing in imperial and indeed global frames. They even crafted cosmopolitan theories rather than purely state-centric ones (Chernilo, 2008; Connell, 1997; Inglis and Roberton, 2008; Roth 2002). 5 Surely the intellectual influence of Europe would be important for contextualizing American sociology, and it should lead us to wonder whether American sociologists were more global than we have assumed.…”

Beyond metrocentrism: From empire to globalism in early US sociology

Existing accounts of American sociology’s founding years during the early twentieth century assume that the discipline was ‘metrocentric.’ They assume that it was only interested in processes occurring within the United States; that American sociologists fell prey to state-centrist thought; and that, therefore, contextualizing America sociology’s emergence necessitates understanding relations, events, and processes within the confines of US territorial boundaries. By contrast, this paper shows the imperial and hence global aspects of early American sociological thought. Early American sociologists were interested in imperialism and, therefore, in cross-societal, transnational, and global processes and relations. Implicitly or explicitly they approached imperialism as a process by which social groups, not least ‘races,’ interacted and conflicted. They also saw it as a route towards new global forms. Early American sociology thus articulated a sociological imagination that looked beyond American society and to the wider world.

“…A great many misreadings, that is, readings out of context and more or less 'creative misinterpretations,' were necessary for an international success that he never anticipated. 13 We must ask what these intellectual interests and professional needs actually were. The answer to that question has to do not just with Weber's reputation, but also in large measure with the formation of the social sciences, especially in America.…”

Weber and his work functioned in two ways: both as a bridge to the new, to the world of capitalist modernity, as well as a road to an acceptable cosmopolitan ‘liberal’ historical past. It was Weber the cosmopolitan and outsider who could give legitimacy and weight to the intellectual orientations and problems thought to be significant for the community in exile. It was this Weber who could cushion the ‘negative shock’ of what was often perceived as America’s ‘intellectual and cultural provincialism’ and establish for the emigre scholar and intellectual the historical task of assisting in the development of American intellectual and cultural life. At the same time, the presence of a different Weber in America, already an established interest of several scholars emerging into prominence, such as Talcott Parsons and Edward Shils, created difficulties as well as opportunities for the emigre scholars. Because of such variety the field for the transmission, reception, and influence of Weber’s work must be approached as a complicated, multilayered, and contested patchwork of disparate and sometimes partially overlapping social and professional networks.
