Rudolf Goldscheid

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rudolf Goldscheid ( pseudonym also Rudolf Golm ; born August 12, 1870 in Vienna ; † October 6, 1931 ibid) was an Austrian sociologist, philosopher and novelist.

Life

Goldscheid came from a wealthy, assimilated Jewish merchant family. While he was studying philosophy, he began to write at the same time; he broke off his studies when his first literary successes became noticeable. In 1907 he was in Vienna with Wilhelm Jerusalem , Michael Hainisch , Max Adler a . a. Co-founder of the Sociological Society . In 1909 he was the initiator and, together with Ferdinand Tönnies , Max Weber and Georg Simmel, co-founded the German Society for Sociology (DGS) in Berlin. In the value judgment dispute , which was particularly fought on the first two sociology days of the DGS, he was the main opponent of Weber and Werner Sombart .

In 1911 he joined the German Monist Association . Between 1912 and 1917 Goldscheid was President of the Austrian Monist Association , which emerged from the "Vienna Local Group of the German Monist Association". He was then its honorary president.

He devoted himself particularly to a “human economy” and fought for a transformation of the “ tax state ” (cf. Joseph Schumpeter ) into a self-operating state . Through his work in this regard, he is considered the founder of the sociology of finance . Goldscheid was a Freemason at the “Ardens” lodge in Vienna.

As a pacifist , he took over the editing of the Friedens-Warte during the First World War and was then also one of the editors. In 1921 he was elected to the board of the German League for Human Rights , whose predecessor organization Bund Neues Vaterland Goldscheid was also a member. Goldscheid also took part in the preparations for an “Austrian national section” of the Fédération internationale des ligues des droits de l'Homme , founded in Paris in 1922 , which, however, was associated with difficulties. In 1926 the Austrian League for Human Rights was founded, and Goldscheid was elected its “First Vice President”, which he remained until his death. He had turned down the election of President of the League because of his many other commitments. Until 1927 he was still a board member of the German League for Human Rights and then a member of the political advisory board of the league until his death .

His honorary grave (Department 6, Ring 2, Group 10, Number 123) is in the urn grove of the Simmering fire hall . In 1932 Rudolf-Goldscheid-Gasse in Vienna- Hernals was named after him, which has been called Goldscheidgasse since 1947 .
