Abstract: Karl Emil Maximilian Weber is well-known for his works in the fields of economics, sociology, epistemology, law, economic history, theology and philosophy. One of Marx’s great intellectual rivals, Weber was among the first to understand that human society has lost the religious dimension it once had and that it cannot progress without values, without faith in God. This is in fact the pillar of the modernity and contemporaneousness of Weber’s writings.
