摘　　要：自改革开放以来,随着我国经济的转型,在经济发展的道路上必要面临一些瓶颈,在寻求出路和答案的过程中,韦伯著作也随之进入中国学者的视野。与此同时,恰逢我国社会学研究的兴起,由于社会转型的需要和我国社会学研究的复苏,从而引起了中国学界对韦伯研究的热潮。在韦伯的著作中对中国学人影响最广的当属《新教伦理与资本主义精神》一书。该书从文化史的角度试图解答西方近代资本主义的文化起源问题。The Institute for Ethics and Religions Studies of Tsinghua University held a forum of Christian-Confucian Dialogue based on Protestant Ethics and the Spirit of Capitalism.Professor Chen Ming and Professor Chin Ken pa took part as keynote speakers,and a number of scholars with Confucian and Christian backgrounds participated in the discussion.The discussion focused on the relationship between social and economic development and cultural dynamics in China.The two speakers’views reflected two positions in current Weberian research:those following Weber’s Model and those departing from Weber’s Model.Professor Chin analyzed the tensions in Puritan belief implied by Weber’s proposition,and argued that this tension of belief had a dynamic effect on economic development.Professor Chen reminded the audience that scholars should note Weber’s ideological background—as a German imperialist,liberalist and nationalist in writing Protestant Ethics and the Spirit of Capitalism.He stressed that returning to Weber’s living context would stimulate contemporary scholars’sense of mission.During the discussion,participants had very meaningful debate about whether a community could break away from Weber’s Model and what the China model was.Scholars were particularly interested in what the model of interaction between economic development and culture actually showed in today’s China.
