Weberian theories

A comprehensive sociology

Weber was the author of a sociology that teceu severe criticism of or positivism and I just broke off by breaking the same philosophical stream.

Max created a kind of subjectivist, comprehensive sociology, not concerned with social issues and with social interactions.

We have analyzed the functioning of the society of the German state and the interpeople dynamics, even thinking about issues such as bureaucracy and domination. In contrast to many of his colleagues, Max Julgava, who accredited us in global sociological laws, that all of them were based on our local and cultural sociological realities.

Another important distinction is that the status quo comprises the company as the entity responsible for mold or individual, Weber has an opposing attitude and goes on to think of the non-individual as or responsible for shaping society.

For him, as ações individuais são ações sociais These gestures are moldam as societies where we live.

As ações sociais

As chamadas ações sociais that permeiam as interações sociais are defined by Max Weber as:

Uma ação that how much year is your sense of visa by agent or by agents, refers to the behavior of others orienting themselves through this course.

Uma social action is directly related to interaction as another (or with expectation of the interaction as another).

According to intellectual, or individual, it must be thought of as a fundamental and founding element of social reality.

For Max Weber there are four types of ações sociais:

• referring to fins: this type of action is aimed at a specific fim (for example, it is necessary to go to a supermarket to find ingredients to cook or cook)
• referring to values: nesse type of actions as attitudes influencing nossas crenças morais
• Affective: ações that our culture teaches us to do and that we reproduce (such as, for example, giving presents on the day of birth)
• traditional: são as ações convencionais daily, isto é, the way we dress, or what we eat, the places we frequent
