Протестантска етика и всекидневен хабитус: загадката на трансформацията
Protestant Ethics and Everyday Habitus: The Mystery of Transformation

Summary/Abstract: The paper aims at reading Max Weber’s thesis of social transformation in The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism through the prism of his later notion of „habitus“. The interpretation of this notion in the context of the „charismatic breakthrough“ in the social status-quo and of the succeeding crystallization of new routine conduct – without following transcendent rules – refers to the conception of „situated practices“, a conception established after the „praxeological turn“ at the end of the XX c. under the influence of Wittgenstein’s Philosophical Investigations and realized in a radical way by the ethnometho-dologists. This reconstruction shows the relevance of Weber’s ideas to recent debates on social innovation and the possibility to reorganize our sociological apparatus, relying on the hidden potentials of so-called „sociological classics“.
