520 |a Beginning from the assumption that classical works retain a contemporary intellectual importance, this paper examines Weber's views on modernity and the problem of meaning. The paper argues that although Weber maintained that neither religion nor science yields belief systems of a socially unifying nature, he did not subscribe to the one-dimensional antimodernism of cultural pessimists or the existentialist dilemma of an absurd existence. Weber's perspective on modernity is shown to be a liberal version of value pluralism and decisionism.
