Titles include Lois Weber's Hypocrites, Vitagraph's Youth, someone else's Purity, and so on.

The Protestant Ethic formed the earliest part in Weber's broader investigations into world religion: he would go on to examine the religions of China, the religions of India and ancient Judaism, with particular regard to the apparent non-development of capitalism in the corresponding societies, as well as to their differing forms of social stratification.

Weber's views on the war and the expansion of the German empire changed during the course of the conflict.

Especially important to Weber's work is the neo-Kantian belief that reality is essentially chaotic and incomprehensible, with all rational order deriving from the way in which the human mind focuses its attention on certain aspects of reality and organises the resulting perceptions.

But, even though Weber's research interests were very much in line with that school, his views on methodology and the theory of value diverged significantly from those of other German historicists and were closer, in fact, to those of Carl Menger and the Austrian School, the traditional rivals of the historical school.

The Religion of China: Confucianism and Taoism was Weber's second major work on the sociology of religion.

The Religion of India: The Sociology of Hinduism and Buddhism was Weber's third major work on the sociology of religion.

Weber's ideal bureaucracy is characterised by hierarchical organisation, by delineated lines of authority in a fixed area of activity, by action taken ( and recorded ) on the basis of written rules, by bureaucratic officials needing expert training, by rules being implemented neutrally and by career advancement depending on technical qualifications judged by organisations, not by individuals.

The great differences between that school's interests and methods on the one hand and those of the neoclassical school ( from which modern mainstream economics largely derives ) on the other, explain why Weber's influence on economics today is hard to discern.

Though his research interests were always in line with those of the German historicists, with a strong emphasis on interpreting economic history, Weber's defence of " methodological individualism " in the social sciences represented an important break with that school and an embracing of many of the arguments that had been made against the historicists by Carl Menger, the founder of the Austrian School of economics, in the context of the academic Methodenstreit (" debate over methods ") of the late 19th century.

Max Weber's article has been cited as a definitive refutation of the dependence of the economic theory of value on the laws of psychophysics by Lionel Robbins, George Stigler, and Friedrich Hayek, though the broader issue of the relation between economics and psychology has come back into the academic debate with the development of " behavioral economics.

Weber's best known work in economics concerned the preconditions for capitalist development, particularly the relations between religion and capitalism, which he explored in The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism as well as in his other works on the sociology of religion.

Though today read primarily by sociologists and social philosophers, Weber's work did have a significant influence on Frank Knight, one of the founders of the neoclassical Chicago school of economics, who translated Weber's General Economic History into English in 1927.

Weber's most influential work was on economic sociology, political sociology, and the sociology of religion.

Topelius initially thought of writing a trivial entertainment, but having heard extracts from the opera project at a concert in 1851, he realized that Pacius was writing a grand opera on the theme of salvation, following the early Romantic style of Carl Maria von Weber's Der Freischütz ( 1821 ) and Oberon ( 1826 ).

Weber's orchestration has also been highly praised and emulated by later generations of composers – Berlioz referred to him several times in his Treatise on Instrumentation while Debussy remarked that the sound of the Weber orchestra was obtained through the scrutiny of the soul of each instrument.

His unfinished opera Die drei Pintos ( The Three Pintos ) was originally given by Weber's widow to Giacomo Meyerbeer for completion ; it was eventually completed by Gustav Mahler, who conducted the first performance in this form in Leipzig on 20 January 1888.

A summary judgment was granted in favor of URA on both of Weber's claims.

Depicting different types of “ economic man ” ( each depending on the social context ) is in fact possible with the help of cultural anthropology, and social psychology ( a branch of psychology economists have strangely ignored ), if only those types are contrived as socially and / or historically determined abstractions ( such as Weber's, Korsch's, and Fromm's concepts of Idealtypus, “ historical specification ”, and “ social character ”).

Weber's preoccupation with the importance of economic calculation led him to develop a critique of socialism as a system that lacked a mechanism for allocating resources efficiently in order to satisfy human needs.

Shmuel Eisenstadt argues in the introduction to The Origins and Diversity of Axial Age Civilizations that Max Weber's work in his The Religion of China: Confucianism and Taoism, The Religion of India: The Sociology of Hinduism and Buddhism and Ancient Judaism provided a background for the importance of the period, and notes parallels with Eric Voegelin's Order and History.

They are usually based on traditional domination or charismatic domination in the sense of Max Weber's tripartite classification of authority

In sociology, the concept of rational-legal domination comes from Max Weber's tripartite classification of authority ( one of several classifications of government used by sociologists ); the other two forms being traditional authority and charismatic authority.

In sociology, the concept of traditional authority ( domination ) comes from Max Weber's tripartite classification of authority, the other two forms being charismatic authority and rational-legal authority.

There are two main forms of patrimonialism in Weber's analysis of traditional authority ( domination ).

In terms of Max Weber's tripartite classification of authority, it was, as with other contemporary monarchies, largely based on " traditional domination ".

Along with theories forwarded by Velben and Mauss, symbolic capital is an extension of Max Weber's analysis of status.

Weber was put in charge of the study and wrote a large part of the final report, which generated considerable attention and controversy and marked the beginning of Weber's renown as a social scientist.

Weber's opinions regarding the methodology of the social sciences show parallels with the work of contemporary neo-Kantian philosopher and pioneering sociologist Georg Simmel.

Weber's methodology was developed in the context of a wider debate about methodology of social sciences, the Methodenstreit.

Weber's position was close to historicism, as he understood social actions as being heavily tied to particular historical contexts and its analysis required the understanding of subjective motivations of individuals ( social actors ).

According to Weber's theses, social research cannot be fully inductive or descriptive, because understanding some phenomenon implies that the researcher must go beyond mere description and interpret it ; interpretation requires classification according to abstract " ideal ( pure ) types ".

The breadth of Weber's topical interests is apparent in the depth of his social theory:

Weber's constructions of rationality have been critiqued both from a Habermasian ( 1984 ) perspective ( as devoid of social context and under-theorised in terms of social power ) and also from a feminist perspective ( Eagleton, 2003 ) whereby Weber's rationality constructs are viewed as imbued with masculine values and oriented toward the maintenance of male power.

Co-writer / director Lois Weber was an ardent admirer of Sanger's efforts, and this film stands as one of the best surviving examples of Weber's social problem films.

With Weber's introduction of ethnicity as a social construct, race and ethnicity were divided from each other.

Weber's discussion of the relationships between status groups, social class, and political parties is found in his essay " Class, Status, Party " which was written in German before World War I.

The contrast with Weber's " ideal type " came from the latter's " accentuation " of certain elements of a real social process, which is under sociological ( or historical ) scrutiny-" the one-sided accentuation of one or more points of view ... of a great many diffuse, discrete, more or less present and occasionally absent concrete individual phenomena ", as Weber himself put it.
