Farewell to The Protestant Ethic

Weber once observed that it is the fate of any piece of scientific research or scholarship to become antiquated within fifty years of its production. Pellicani has recently argued that this fate is long overdue for Weber's most celebrated and widely read work: The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism. Is it time to bid farewell to The Protestant Ethic? In the ensuing, I examine the case Pellicani makes for this position. In section (I), I provide a brief reconstruction of the two arguments he employs against Weber's conception of the relation between the Protestant ethic and the spirit of capitalism
