Veber rejected both the eudaimonistic and the utilitarian conceptions of ethics, as he did not regard happiness as the ultimate goal of moral action – in his view, the ethical value of an act lies in its motive rather than its consequences. His ethical stance is also reflected in his political thought, as he criticized the idea that a nation, state, or humanity as a whole could strive for happiness. In doing so, he rejected collectivist political concepts that subordinate the individual to higher entities. Marxist circles dismissed his philosophy as reactionary even before the war. Veber was irritated by party conflicts and did not identify with any political party. He blamed materialism for war and social misery, which, in his opinion, resulted from a one-sided pursuit of material gain and the neglect of spiritual values – the very values he emphasized in his reflections on freedom and ethicsPrispevek se osredotoča na moralno filozofijo Franceta Vebra, pri čemer bomo obravnavali njegovo dojemanje svobode in etike ter povezane pojme, kot so vest, dolžnost, vrednostno čustvovanje in stremljenje, ter vprašanja, ki se mu v etično-moralnem kontekstu porajajo. Veber je zavračal eudaimonistično in utilitaristično pojmovanje etike, saj sreče ni dojemal kot končnega cilja moralnega delovanja – etična vrednost dejanj po njegovem mnenju temelji na motivu, ne na posledicah. Njegovo etično stališče se odraža tudi v politični misli, saj kritizira idejo, da lahko narod, država ali človeštvo kot celota stremijo k sreči. S tem je zavračal kolektivistične politične koncepte, ki posameznika podrejajo višjim entitetam. Marksistični krogi so njegovo filozofijo sicer zavračali kot reakcionarno že pred vojno. Vebra so strankarski prepiri jezili, sam pa se ni prišteval k nobeni politični stranki. Materializem je krivil za vojno in socialno bedo, ki sta bili po njegovem mnenju posledici enostranskega zavzemanja za materialne koristi ter opuščanje duhovnih vrednot – prav slednje pa je poudarjal v svojem filozofiranju o svobodi in etikiTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaDruštvo za analitično filozofijo in filozofijo znanosti
