Eranos circle
The Eranos Circle was an association of professors to discuss issues primarily related to religious studies. It was initiated in 1904 by the theologian Adolf Deissmann and the classical philologist Albrecht Dieterich in Heidelberg. The participants met monthly and the host changed in turn. The founding members also included Max Weber , Ernst Troeltsch , Georg Jellinek , Eberhard Gothein , Erich Marcks and the economist Karl Rathgen . Around 30 meetings had taken place by 1909. The conversations in the Eranos circle had, among other things, an influence on Max Weber's religious studies, the book version of the "Protestant Ethics" from 1920 and his concept of rationalization or " disenchantment ".
