          Abstract

          RESUMO Este artigo pretende investigar, partindo das ideias de A Ética Protestante e o “Espírito” do Capitalismo, de Max Weber, a relação entre o desencantamento do mundo e a Reforma Protestante, bem como a hipótese de que o desencantamento gerou, ao mesmo tempo, um novo encantamento no capitalismo e em sua nascente sociedade do trabalho. Segundo Weber, à medida que o cotidiano, na modernidade, foi tomado por uma racionalização cultural e social, dissolveram-se também as formas de vida tradicionais. Na ética protestante, a salvação vincula-se à vocação intramundana e à santificação da vida cotidiana por meio do trabalho. Daí, falarmos de um desencantamento, como Weber conceitua, e, ao mesmo tempo, de um reencantamento à luz de uma nova religiosidade atuante no mundo do trabalho capitalista. É justamente esse processo que permitiu Walter Benjamin, por sua vez, considerar o capitalismo como uma religião, com seus cultos, ritos e símbolos, levando a análise weberiana adiante, enfatizando o capitalismo como religião. Almejamos, assim, investigar a hipótese de que a tese weberiana do desencantamento do mundo igualmente culmina em sua inversão, ao falarmos de um reencantamento do mundo, agora sob a égide do trabalho capitalista e de sua racionalização econômica.

          ABSTRACT This article aims to investigate, based on the ideas of Max Weber’s Protestant Ethics and the “Spirit” of Capitalism, the relationship between the disenchantment of the world and the Protestant Reformation, as well as the hypothesis that disenchantment generated, at the same time, a new enchantment in capitalism and its nascent labor society. According to Weber, as the daily life, in modern times, was taken over by a cultural and social rationalization, traditional forms of life also dissolved. In Protestant ethics, salvation is linked to the intramundane vocation and the sanctification of everyday life through work. Hence, we speak of a disenchantment, as Weber conceptualizes, and at the same time, a re-enchantment in light of a new religiosity active in the world of capitalist labor. It is precisely this process that allowed Walter Benjamin, in turn, to consider capitalism as a religion, with its cults, rites and symbols, taking the Weberian analysis forward, emphasizing capitalism as a religion. We aim thus to investigate the hypothesis that Weber’s thesis of the disenchantment of the world also culminates in its reversal, when we speak of a re-enchantment of the world, now under the umbrella of the capitalist labor and its economic rationalization.
