Subject: PB on Weber and more . . . more help with quotations needed! 
Date: Wed, 31 Jan 2001 21:04:30 -0500


In Acts of Resistance (p. 43) , Bourdieu wrote:
"Max Weber said that dominant groups always need a 'theodicy of their
own privilege', or more precisely a sociodicy."   I'd like to cite
Weber's observation, but can't seem to find it.  Any suggestions?

And, on a similar note, on page 4 of Acts of Resistance PB says:
"I was recently reading an article by a German author on ancient
Egypt.  He shows how, in a period of crisis of confidence in the state
and in the public good, two tendencies emerged among the rulers,
corruption, linked to the decline in respect for the public interest;
and, among those they dominated, personal religiosity, associated with
despair concerning temporal remedies."

I'd REALLY love to know the German author and the citation for this.
Any help from the listmembers would be greatly appreciated.
