Max Weber on Calvinism - Dictionary of Arguments
Habermas III 308 Calvinism/Weber/Habermas: Weber does not want to explain why Catholic inhibitions against commercial profit-seeking have fallen, but what made the conversion possible. He discovered the corresponding teachings in Calvinism and around the Protestant sects. In religious community life he finds the institutions that ensured the socializing effectiveness of the teachings in the supporting layers of early capitalism.(1) >Religion, >Religious belief, >Community, >Society. Habermas III 309 He emphasizes the Calvinist trait that urges the believer to undress the everyday practice of its lack of systems, i.e. to practice the individual search for salvation in such a way that the ethical conviction and principle-led morality penetrate all spheres of life and all stages of life equally. >Morals, >Principles. The system of lifestyle is based on the fact that the lay cannot rely on the priestly grace of the sacrament to be assisted by an official institution of grace such as the Catholic Church. This means that he must not divide his world into salvific and other spheres of life, and regulate his life autonomously, according to the principles of postconventional morality. >Lifeworld, >Life. 1.
