Max Weber possui duas sociologias? Análise comparativa do esquema conceitual de Sobre algumas categorias da sociologia compreensiva (1913) e Conceitos sociológicos-fundamentais (1921)

The critical republication of Max Weber’s work, Max Weber-Gesamtausgabe, sparked a debateabout changes and permanence of the Weberian lexicon. An example is a controversy betweenthe essays Kategorien (1913) and Grundbegriffe (1921). Schluchter (2014) argues there wasonly a lexicon refinement without any conception change. Lichtblau (2015) contends there wasan approach change: historical, in 1913; sociological, in 1921. Thus, the objective is to identifyand discuss the analytical implications of the theoretical-conceptual changes made by Weber inKategorien and Grundbegriffe to understand his conception development of Sociology. Therefore,the existence of a micro-macro model of upward causality is recognized in both Kategorienand Grundbegriffe. But, it is necessary to recognize the texts have gone through a process oftheoretical maturation and conceptual improvement to modify the conceptual content of somefundamental categories of the Weberian scheme.
