Abstract

The article "Max Weber and the Re-Enchantment of Charisma" delves into Max Weber's critique of rationalization in Western society and his focus on charisma as a significant quality. It explores how charisma is studied in power and politics, particularly in European and global settings, and discusses Weber's engagement with Chinese philosophy. The text also examines historical forms of ruling, including charismatic and traditionalist authority, and the transition to modern bureaucratic structures. Weber's analysis of charisma in various cultural contexts, such as Confucian China, provides valuable insights into transcultural interactions and historical concepts. [Extracted from the article]
