Max Weber, Pessimismo cultural, Autoridade carismática, República de Weimar, Wolfgang Mommsen, Responsabilidade políticaResumo
Este artigo investiga as conexões entre o pessimismo cultural de Max Weber e sua defesa de um Presidente forte na República de Weimar, reformulando a tese de Wolfgang Mommsen, que aponta uma continuidade entre as justificativas de Weber e Carl Schmitt para a concentração de poder no líder político. Ao examinar a genealogia das categorias weberianas e sua influência no desenho institucional da Constituição de Weimar, argumentamos que sua defesa da autoridade carismática refletiu um diagnóstico existencial sobre as possibilidades de atribuição de sentido à vida diante de um processo de burocratização e racionalização percebido como inevitável. Por fim, exploramos a dimensão trágica do pensamento de Weber, especialmente em “A Política como Vocação”, enfatizando suas reflexões sobre as consequências não intencionadas da ação política e a responsabilidade ética dos líderes frente às contingências históricas.
