ABSTRACT
Like our actual society, which it studies, social science is not unified but divided in two: bourgeois sociology and Marxism. The most important representatives of these two lines of inquiry are Max Weber and Karl Marx. But the sphere of their investigations is one and the same: the ‘capitalist’ organisation of a modern economy and society. This common problem is becoming increasingly apparent in recent sociological investigations.1 This field of inquiry became a problem, and indeed a fundamental problem, not only because it comprises a specific problematic of economy and society demanding separate treatment, but primarily because this theme involves contemporary man in the whole of his humanity as the fundamental basis of both social and economic questions.
