Abstract

O presente artigo analisa o trabalho de elaboração de Michael Löwy sobre o conceito de “afinidades eletivas”, utilizado por Max Weber. Nesse sentido, busca apresentar os avanços por ele trazidos para uma maior definição do conceito e a operatividade de seu uso, bem como algumas das repercussões que indicaram seus possíveis limites em termos de elaboração e operação. Antes, à guisa de preâmbulo, o artigo faz uma apresentação do contexto sociológico de sua aparição mais conhecida, a partir do livro A ética protestante e o “espírito” do capitalismo (EPEC), de Max Weber, que serve de importante base de lançamento para os investimentos de Löwy.

The article analyses the Michael Löwy’s work upon the concept of “elective affinity” used by Max Weber. We draw upon Löwy’s articles presenting his attempt to build an effective contribution to a more clear definition and use of the concept. The article points out some of the arguments put forward by his critics displaying what would be Löwy’s formulation limits. As an introduction we present the sociological context of the most famous appearance of the concept in the Max Weber’s book The protestant ethics and the “spirit” of capitalism which has been serving for Löwy’s research and developments.
