Abstract
The thinking of Max Weber became known in the Argentina academic community in the years preceding the first translations of his General Economic History and Economy and Society into Spanish, published by Fondo de Cultura Económica in 1942 and 1944, respectively. The first Argentine references to Weber's work appear in the early 1930s in an intellectual context marked by the revolt against Positivism and the spread of German thinking in general and German sociological thinking in particular. Throughout that period, sociology was an emerging field and sociologists faced the task of justifying their practice and approaches. Nevertheless, there were different views of the discipline, each of which articulating a specific interpretation of Weber's thinking.
