In this selection, Weber analyzes the consequences of religious interests shaped by Puritan ideas for the development of modern capitalism. This is not sim- ple emanationism, for such ideas as Calvinistic pre- destination suffer many alterations in the process of becoming satisfactorily meaningful lor the mass of faithful: a good example of the relationship between culture, personality, and social structure. Freud, on the other hand, introduces the organ- ism as a crucial component in relating ...the indi- vidual to his society. The organism is the source of the libido, the pleasure oriented force which drives the individual toward other individuals. This force is essentially non-rational since, of itself, it is in- capable of recognizing, in the cathexes of objects, those situations which will result in the destruction of the organism or in the disease of the personality. It does not have even the wisdom of the body since libido is largely independent of metabolic needs. When this libido becomes structured into the super- ego, it retains essentially the non-rational character- istic; this explains the rigid and uncompromising demands of conscience.
