Resumo: Max Weber is a worldwide respected sociologist, but there are other ways to approach andappreciate his oeuvre, especially in historical science. He has been seen as the last German-speaking polyhistor, as the founding father of historical cultural studies, and even as theforerunner of a problem-focused historiography. At the same time, history provides himwith an almost inexhaustible reservoir of single data. Weber demonstrates what about datais scientifically interesting and how to make use of it for dealing with scientific questions.My approach in this essay will be as follows: Firstly, I will identify Weber’s methodologicalreflections about how to deal with empirical-historical reality. Secondly, I will show how Weberembraces history with special focus on his sociology of domination – a centerpiece of Economyand Society. Finally, I will shortly explore the possibilities of adapting Weber’s main theses topresent-day historical sciences.

Ele foi visto como o último polyhistorde língua alemã, como o pai fundador dos estudos histórico-culturais e até mesmo como oprecursor de uma historiografia orientada por problemas. Ao mesmo tempo, a história fornece aele um reservatório praticamente inesgotável de dados empíricos. Weber demonstra que dadossão cientificamente interessantes e como é possível utilizá-los para tratar questões científicas.A abordagem que adotarei neste ensaio seguirá os seguintes passos: primeiramente, identificareias reflexões metodológicas de Weber sobre como lidar com a realidade histórico-empírica. Emsegundo lugar, mostrarei como Weber incorpora a história com foco especial em sua sociologiada dominação – uma seção central de Economia e Sociedade. Finalmente, explorarei brevementeas possibilidades que se abrem às ciências históricas atuais com a adoção das principais tesesde Weber.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)2020-11-19info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/politica/article/view/7442510.5007/175-7984.2020v19n45p118Política & Sociedade; Vol. 19 No. 45 (2020); 118-141Política & Sociedade; Vol. 19 Núm. 45 (2020); 118-141Política & Sociedade; v. 19 n. 45 (2020); 118-1412175-79841677-4140reponame:Política & Sociedade (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCenghttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/politica/article/view/74425/44715Copyright (c) 2020 Política & Sociedadehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessHanke, Edith2020-11-19T18:33:42Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/74425Revistahttp://www.periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/politicaPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/politica/oai||ernesto.seidl@ufsc.br|| ps@cfh.ufsc.br2175-79841677-4140opendoar:2020-11-19T18:33:42Política & Sociedade (Online) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false
