05-01-202605-01-2026<p>This article aims to describe the way in which Raymond Aron received and interpreted Max Weber's intellectual work. This reception can be divided in two periods. The first period is marked by discovery: Aron meets Weber in the 1930s and is very well impressed by his methodological rigor and his way of understanding political reality. Then, from the 1950s onwards, Aron distances himself somewhat from some of Weber's central theses. Particularly, he does not believe that a scientist, as such, is able to reach something akin to neutrality. This distancing, however, did not prevent him from recognizing in Weber's work a rather solid contribution to social sciences, nor did it prevent him from accepting many of his teachings.</p>El presente artículo busca describir el diálogo intelectual entre Raymond Aron y Max Weber, que está marcado fundamentalmente por dos etapas. La primera etapa está marcada por el descubrimiento: Aron conoce a Weber en los años ’30, y se siente muy atraído por su rigor metodológico y su modo de comprender la realidad política. Luego, a partir de los años ’50, Aron toma cierta distancia de algunas tesis centrales de Weber. En particular, no cree que el científico, en cuanto tal, pueda alcanzar algo así como la neutralidad. Sin embargo, esto no le impide reconocer en la obra de Weber un aporte macizo para las ciencias sociales, y recoger muchas de sus enseñanzas.info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessDecisionismMax WeberPolitical liberalismRaymond AronDecisionismMax WeberPolitical liberalismRaymond AronArticle
