Weber’s values, such as the ones discussed in the preceding chapter-conflict, action and greatness in the public world-may be captured by the term “worldly ethic of heroism”

(Weber, 1946, p. 336). This is the ethic of manliness. He contrasted this ethic with other-

worldly religious ethics, which he identified with the “ethics of the subjugated.” The latter were associated with women and femininity (Weber [1921-2] 1978, pp. 591-2).
