4 types of action according to Weber
Instrumental rational action: social actors work out the most efficient way to achieve a goal.
Value rational action: action towards a goal that’s seen as desirable for its own sake.
Traditional Action: routine, customary or habitual actions that are done without thought or choice.
Affectual Action: action that expresses emotion.
Evaluation of Weber
SCHULTZ: Weber’s view of action is too individualistic and doesn’t explain shared nature of meanings.
Application: it’s difficult to apply these ideas as meaning can be misinterpreted or reinterpreted by different individuals.
VERSTEHEN: it’s never possible to truly put yourself into the shoes of another person therefore we cannot really understand their motives.
