Considering the “Träger” of social revolution in the modern world many writers have asserted the importance of “lineage between ideas and interests”. But they have never made clear enough the relationship within this lineage.
The purpose of this paper is to consider this problem- “Elective Affinity between ideas and interests” -á la Max Weber.
At first I will explain the structure of this affinity from the viewpoint that there is a difference between “wordview” and “everyday-knowledge”. In this explanation I will make use of two dicotomies - namely (1) “the struggle among Gods” vs. “the struggle for interests” and “theoretical rationalism” vs. “practical rationalism”. Then I will inquire the “apparatus” of the affinity through studying the Weber's works on the sociology of religion.
