“We do not diminish the value of what women or men achieve in any worthy endeavor or career -- we all benefit from their achievements -- but still recognize that there is not a higher good than motherhood and fatherhood in marriage.

“The fate of our times is characterized by rationalization and intellectualization and, above all, by the 'disenchantment of the world.' Precisely the ultimate and most sublime values have retreated from public life either into the transcendental realm of mystic life or into the brotherliness of direct and personal human relations. It is not accidental that our greatest art is intimate and not monumental.” WorldHumansArtPhilosophyValuesFateArt IsDirectUltimateRelationHistoricalIntimateRealmsOur TimeSublimeMysticPublic LifeHuman RelationsTranscendentalDisenchantment Book:From Max Weber: Essays in Sociology Source: From Max Weber: Essays in Sociology
