本课是「文明42」系列第42讲，深入探讨新教改革如何催生了资本主义精神。课程首先对比天主教与新教的三大核心差异：天主教强调教义正统、宗教等级制度以及「因行为称义」，而新教则主张个人直接阅读圣经、平等的信仰关系以及「因信称义」。正是这种强调个人勤奋、自律与内在使命感的新教伦理，为资本主义的兴起提供了深层的文化与精神土壤。课程将抽象概念与历史逻辑紧密结合，帮助学生理解当今世界经济秩序的思想根源。
This lecture explores how the Protestant Reformation gave birth to capitalism. The class compares Catholicism and Protestantism across three dimensions: orthodoxy vs. personal interpretation, hierarchy vs. equality, and justification by works vs. justification by faith. The Protestant emphasis on individual discipline, inner calling, and direct relationship with God created the cultural foundation for capitalist values. A conceptually rich lecture connecting Reformation theology to the economic world we live in today.
