Resumo

Resumo: Max Weber é um autor central para Leo Strauss. Importa a Strauss compreender o sentido da ciência social elaborada por Weber, já que tal ciência social rejeitaria o direito natural. Essa rejeição é baseada no historicismo e na distinção entre fatos e valores. Isso levaria ao niilismo como consequência necessária da obra weberiana. Strauss percebe aqui uma tese fundamental: a luta permanente entre valores últimos. Strauss toma essa tese como uma posição filosófica, o que o leva a tratar Weber como um filósofo. Esse é o Max Weber de Leo Strauss. Iremos analisar as passagens dos textos de Strauss referentes a essa questão e mostrar como essa figura de um Weber filósofo, quando utilizada para o entendimento da ciência social weberiana, leva a uma distorção de seu pensamento.

The Max Weber of Leo Strauss

Riepilogo: Max Weber is a central author for Leo Strauss. It is important for Strauss to understand the meaning of the social science elaborated by Weber, since such social science would reject natural law. This rejection is based on historicism and the distinction between facts and values. This would lead to nihilism as a necessary consequence of Weber's work. Strauss perceives here a fundamental thesis the permanent struggle between ultimate values. Strauss takes this thesis as a philosophical position, which leads him to treat Weber as a philosopher. This is the Max Weber of Leo Strauss. We will analyze the passages of Strauss' texts referring to this question and show how this figure of a philosopher Weber, when used for the understanding of Weberian social science, leads to a distortion of his thought.
