Max Weber and Scientific determinism at the end of 19th century

On Weber's Article "»Energetische« Kulturtheorien"

Abstract

Understanding Weber's methodology of "Kulturwissenschaft" from the point of view of the history ofIdeas, we can not grasp it without reference to Marxism and Scientific determinism at the end of 19th century.
It is not so hard to find papers that treat his methodology in comparison with Marxism, however, it is hard to find papers that attempt to describe what attitude he had toward scientific determinists ; Comte, Mach, Solvey, Ostwald.
So the paper attempts to clarify this problem through Weber's article" » Energetische » Kulturtheorien" in which he argued on scientific determinism.
