The author analyzes Max Weber’s approach to religion as part of the German sociologist’s general theoretical task: the analysis of the distinctive features of Western Civilization. In this theoretical perspective the article examines Weber’s approach to the other world religions (in the studies on the economic ethics of world religions) and specifically his comparisons between them and the formation and values of Western civilization. Weber involves religion in seeking the answer to his “network of questions” (R. Bendix); religion appears as the moral component influencing the “worldly” behaviour of individuals as members of a particular status group. The article presents Weber’s interpretation of the great religious systems, which was centred on the status groups of religious leaders; this approach is a challenge to the Marxian interpretation of religion as merely a reflection and product of economic relations in society. One other important element of Weber’s self-reflecting method is also stressed: the fact that he examined religions separately, not as part of an interconnected historical chain and in consecutive order, as Toynbee would later do. The article examines in a critical light the frequent overemphasizing in literature of the role Weber assigned to religion for the birth of the capitalist spirit. The interaction between material factors and interests, and spiritual ideas and incentives characterizes the essence of Weber’s approach to the analysis of social phenomena: the birth and specific features of capitalism and the particularities of Western Civilization.
