The Weberian Ideal-type: Development and Continuities

Tore Lindbekk

Department of Sociology and Political Science, University of Trondheim

Max Weber's concept of ideal-types is presented against a background of the meth odological controversies at the turn of the century and the conceptions of some recent authors. The changes in Weber's ideal-type approach from his early studies of medieval trading companies to Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft and his studies of world religions are pointed out. It is argued that Weber's methodology was integral to his project to disclose the roots and central contents of modem Western civilization.
