Predestination and the Protestant Ethic
形式化了韦伯的著名论点，探讨新教世俗禁欲主义与加尔文宗预定论教义之间的联系，将积累财富是道德义务的世俗前提与救赎由上帝预定的宗教教条关联起来。
This paper relates the secular premise that accumulating wealth is a moral obligation and the religious dogma that salvation is immutable and preordained by God. It thus formalizes Weber’s renowned thesis on the connection between the worldly asceticism of Protestants and the religious doctrines of Calvinism.
