the concept of religion in works Karl Marx and Max Weber: A multidimensional comparison

This thesis examines the philosophical and sociological implications of the derivation of the concept of 'religion' within the theoretical frameworks of Karl Marx and Max Weber, and explores the connections between them. The aim is to determine the ideological ideals from which the definition of religion is derived and how these influence the works and theories of both thinkers. The two fundamental philosophical schools, idealism and materialism, are irreconcilable in philosophical debate, yet they also show areas of overlap when applied to models of society. The question of the relationship between the individual and society is central here. As a key element, religion plays a mediating role between individuals and society and possesses various contradictory characteristics.
