Abstract

This short article has attempted to show how the most important term in Weber’s methodology, ideal types had been interpreted incorrectly by the expositors of his ideas. As a result, his ideal type has been limited to only two types: sociological ideal type and historical ideal type. And contrary to what Weber has said Methodology of Social Sciences, these two types are often given a subjective interpretation by the expositors.

Key Concepts: Ideal Type, Historical Ideal Type, Sociological Ideal type, Dialectical Ideal type
