The Comparative Study Of Economic Ethics Thoughts Between Weber And Sombart In Judaism

The research of Weber and Sombart on the economic ethics of Judaism is a great exploration to deeply understand Jewish culture.Through the study of the origin of Jews and their religions,Weber believes that the analysis of Judaism is complex and mainly irrational,which has no positive influence on the development of modern capitalism and the formation of its inner spirit.On the other hand,Sombart analyzed and summarized the commercial scale and achievements of the Jews and concluded that the Jews were influenced by Judaism with distinct rational characteristics.Its economic behavior also has the rational color and has made the positive contribution to the modern capitalism development,and he also analyzed that there are closely related incubation function between Jewish economic ethics and the spirit of capitalism.In fact,their studies constitute the dual cultural orientation of the study of Jewish economic ethics,which are unified with each other in a complete Jewish thought.There is no doubt that there are differences between Weber and Sombart's ideas on economic ethics in Judaism,and there are different gains and losses in their respective views.By comparison,we can find that Weber explored the economic ethics of Judaism from a rich and comprehensive perspective,but he never got rid of the limitation of Western centrism.Sombart broke through the traditional and inherent extreme view of people to Jews and put forward a new way of thinking about Jewish economic ethics.However,his research lacks rigorous analysis and reasoning.In view of this,we can understand their common thoughts.Combining with the reality of our country and exploring its theoretical significance in the contemporary background,we sum up the consensus and rationality in the economic ethics of Judaism of Weber and Sombart,which provides positive enlightenment for the development of socialist market economy in China.
