    生存动力

    我的定力确实小,看了谁的书就开始用谁的思维方式。现在就想,如果西方人的资本主义式的奋斗精神来自清教徒的宗教传统,无限积累和最小消耗的结合也有了来自宗教的动机,那么国人现在比西方更狠的奋斗精神从哪来?难道只是因为生在资本主义年代,为了生存被迫接受吗?对比历史似乎可以证明这一点?

    再想一个人工作的动机,往往来自某种从小建立的“宗教”。当自我意识渐渐明显,同时也不再有人呼应这种“宗教”的时候,也将由理性代替宗教。驱使这种理性的是什么呢?可能有求知,享受,名利,荣耀……除了求知和享受都可以用野心概括。而如果野心的目标是成功,而成功一旦不需要资本主义式的奋斗,那么奋斗精神就死了。而且人的年龄越大,生命力越弱,这种趋势越明显。没有宗教支撑的资本主义精神会不会只是一个繁荣的假象?

    最后还会想自己工作的动机。以下几种情况下我会马上停止工作:

    1.永远不会死
    2.获得了无法想象的智力
    3.我关心的人需要我

    留着这篇,看看再过几年是怎么想的。

    Are you sure that Weber thinks this to be rational rather than the other way around? When "reason" replaces religion, is the process rational? In addition, I don't think the concept of calling is one of ambition; instead, it is a religious-ethical feeling of drive. That's why the spirit of capitalism remains even when it is no longer the protestant ethic.

    我只是浏览过 而且是中文版=P
    浙大社会学系有个教授叫冯刚 他是马克斯韦伯的铁杆范 我们一个学期的社会学课 基本都围绕他这本书进行
    我现在印象最深当时最豁然开朗的是目的--手段链部分吧
    如果目的实现了,它就成了下一个目的的手段,因为最终的目的地是死亡,于是死前回头看所有的目的都成了手段,一个目的都没有实现。或者说,活了一辈子是为了死。即使我们知道谁都是向死而生,但是也鲜有人为死而生吧。
    所以一年前这个时候觉得不能不择手段为目的活,得不择目的为“手段”活。但是今年的这个时候自我理性已经沉睡许久了,周围的喧嚣又把我赶回手段目的的恶性循环了 哈哈

    对比几年以后的想法和现在一定很有趣。
