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.

The relationship between capitalism and modernity is a salient issue, perhaps best demonstrated in Weber's The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism ( 1905 ) and Simmel's The Philosophy of Money ( 1900 ).

This chronicle was supposedly destroyed because Marianne Weber feared that Max Weber's work would be discredited by the Nazis if his experience with mental illness were widely known.

This deviation of the Weber's law is known as the " near miss " of the Weber's law.

It can be considered both as a forerunner of, and a challenge to, the rather better known concept of Max Weber's: the ideal type ( in German Idealtyp ).

Most known examples are the theory of Karl Marx and Max Weber's three-component theory of stratification.

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.

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.

Though the influence of his mother's Calvinist religiosity is evident throughout Weber's life and work, and though he maintained a deep, lifelong interest in the study of religions, Weber was open about the fact that he was personally irreligious.

Many scholars have described rationalisation and the question of individual freedom in an increasingly rational society, as the main theme of Weber's work.

Weber's work in the field of sociology of religion started with the essay The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism and continued with the analysis of The Religion of China: Confucianism and Taoism, The Religion of India: The Sociology of Hinduism and Buddhism and Ancient Judaism.

Weber's essay The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism is his most famous work.

It is argued that this work should not be viewed as a detailed study of Protestantism, but rather as an introduction into Weber's later works, especially his studies of interaction between various religious ideas and economic behaviour as part of the rationalisation of the economic system.

Another reason for Weber's decision was that Troeltsch's work already achieved what he desired in that area: laying the groundwork for a comparative analysis of religion and society.

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.

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.

Weber's work is generally quoted according to the critical Gesamtausgabe ( collected works edition ), which is published by Mohr Siebeck in Tübingen.

The theme of a religious basis of economic discipline is echoed in sociologist Max Weber's work, but both de Tocqueville and Weber argued that this discipline was not a force of economic determinism, but one factor among many that should be considered when evaluating the relative economic success of the Puritans.

1798 also saw the twelve year old Weber's first published work, six fughettas for piano, published in Leipzig.

Indeed, the first use of the word " Leitmotif " in print was by the critic Friedrich Wilhelm Jähns in describing Weber's work, although this was not until 1871.

These explorations into the achievement motive seem to turn naturally into the investigation of national differences based on Max Weber's thesis that the industrialization and economic development of the Western nations were related to the Protestant ethic and its corresponding values supporting work and achievement.

Ludwig von Mises was influenced by several theories in forming his work on praxeology, including Immanuel Kant's works, Max Weber's work on methodological individualism, and Carl Menger's development of the subjective theory of value.

Weber's work formed one of the bases of psychology as a science, with Wilhelm Wundt founding the first laboratory for psychological research.

Dunlap and Catton's work immediately received a critique from Frederick Buttel who argued to the contrary that classical sociological foundations could be found for environmental sociology, particularly in Weber's work on ancient " agrarian civilizations " and Durkheim's view of the division of labor as built on a material premise of specialization / specialization in response to material scarcity.

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.

Sozialökonomik zwischen Geschichte und Theorie, Nomos, ISBN 978-3-8329-2517-8 Weber's concept of sociology against the background of his juristic and economic provenance within the framework of " social economics "

Although not a detailed study of Protestantism but rather an introduction to Weber's later studies of interaction between various religious ideas and economics ( The Religion of China: Confucianism and Taoism, The Religion of India: The Sociology of Hinduism and Buddhism, and Ancient Judaism ), The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism argues that Puritan ethics and ideas influenced the development of capitalism.

Weber's work regarding the relationship between economics and religion and the cultural " disenchantment " of the modern West is perhaps most iconic of the approach set forth in the classic period of economic sociology.

The central theme in Weber's analysis of modern society was the process of rationalization ; a far reaching process whereby traditional modes of thinking were being replaced by an ends / means analysis concerned with efficiency and formalized social control.

From 1893 to 1899 Weber was a member of the Alldeutscher Verband ( Pan-German League ), an organisation that campaigned against the influx of the Polish workers ; the degree of Weber's support for the Germanisation of Poles and similar nationalist policies is still debated by modern scholars.

Also in 1893 he married his distant cousin Marianne Schnitger, later a feminist activist and author in her own right, who was instrumental in collecting and publishing Weber's journal articles as books after his death and her biography of him is an important source for understanding Weber's life.

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.

Parsons in particular imparted to Weber's works a functionalist, teleological perspective ; this personal interpretation has been criticised for a latent conservatism.

In early 19th-century cantatas the chorus is the vehicle for music more lyric and songlike than in oratorio, not excluding the possibility of a brilliant climax in a fugue as in Ludwig van Beethoven's Glorreiche Augenblick, Carl Maria von Weber's Jubel-Kantate, and Felix Mendelssohn's Die erste Walpurgisnacht.

Der Freischütz came to be regarded as the first German " nationalist " opera, Euryanthe developed the Leitmotif technique to a hitherto-unprecedented degree, while Oberon anticipated Mendelssohn's music for A Midsummer Night's Dream and, at the same time, revealed Weber's lifelong interest in the music of non-Western cultures.

This interest was first manifested in Weber's incidental music for Schiller's translation of Gozzi's Turandot, for which he used a Chinese melody, making him the first Western composer to use an Asian tune that was not of the pseudo-Turkish kind popularized by Mozart and others.

Weber's shorter piano pieces, such as the Invitation to the Dance, was later orchestrated by Berlioz, while his Polacca Brillante was later set for piano and orchestra by Liszt.

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.

They did not ask for qualifications, certificates, or references, but instead only required him to show them his sketchbooks from the war, and a calligraphic piece he did in 1944 of Hans von Weber's " Junggesellentext ".

In 1841, Berlioz wrote recitatives for a production of Weber's Der Freischütz at the Paris Opéra and also orchestrated Weber's Invitation to the Dance to add ballet music to it ( he titled the ballet L ' Invitation à la valse, and the original piano piece has often been mistitled as a result ).

Schutz sought to provide a critical philosophical foundation for Max Weber's interpretive sociology through the use of phenomenological methods derived from the transcendental phenomenological investigations of Edmund Husserl.

Other notable recordings include Johannes Brahms ' Symphony No. 4 and Franz Schubert's third and eighth (" Unfinished ") symphonies, also with the Vienna Philharmonic, recordings of Dvořák's Concerto for piano and orchestra with Sviatoslav Richter, Carl Maria von Weber's Der Freischütz, Johann Strauss ' Die Fledermaus, Giuseppe Verdi's La Traviata and Richard Wagner's Tristan und Isolde.

Ritzer shows how Weber's central characteristics of rationalized systems-efficiency, predictability, calculability, substitution of non-human for human technology and control over uncertainty-have found widespread expression in a broad range of organized human activity, including travel, consumer products and services, education, leisure, politics and religion as well as in the fast food industry.

Late in the 18th century, " allemande " came to be used for a new type of dance in triple meter ; Weber's Douze allemandes op.

Other sense modalities provide only mixed support for either Weber's law or Fechner's law.

Weber's law does not quite hold for loudness.
