| Abstract | |
The general aim of this doctoral thesis is to reconstruct in theoretical and methodological terms the fundamental hermeneutical steps as well as to review the relevance and explanatory scope of Max Weber\'s diagnosis of modernity. It starts from the assumption that the Weberian diagnosis is a sociological diagnosis, and rationality is the central concept. However, it is argued that the meaning of this concept depends directly on the cultural meaning of a universal anthropological problem linked to the constitution of subjectivity. Therefore, it is argued that the long-range Western rationalization process, which is revealed in part as a necessary condition for the development of modernity, refers to certain changes that have occurred throughout history on the main symbolic coordinates that hegemonically determine the sense of the human condition of Western man.
