Abstract

This article seeks to highlight the influences of German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche’s theory of science of Max Weber. As impressive as the discrepancies between the ideas of these two authors - and we cannot fail to point out: there are many - there are certainly many points and the like that comprise an enormous range of possibilities for comparative studies. This work represents only a part of this universe unexplored, but very rich. Sure is: yes we can find in Max Weber traces of Nietzsche’s thought. Not an easy task, as the sociologist few verses in his writings about the influence of German philosopher. Through this test we tried to make clear the extent possible, what were these influences.
