"Max Weber: The Lawyer as Social Thinker" aims to relate the
categories of Weber's social thinking to the intellectual context
of legal thinking and theory in which he was educated. Its
interpretive aim is to show how knowledge of these relations
illuminates our understanding of Weber's own intentions. By
comparing Weber's social theory of the teleological kind favoured
by his contemporaries, which sought to identify social purposes and
their effects and realization in history, but rather to radically
undermine the project of teleological social theory by replacing
categories of description that are amenable to or dependent upon
teleological interpretations with categories that are specifically
constructed to strip away teleology. The book identifies some of
the key sources of Weber's thought in the legal tradition, notably
the jurisprudential theorist Rudolph von Ihering, who was a classic
teleological thinker, influenced by Bentham as well as by
neo-Kantianism. Weber's famous definition of social action should
be adequate on the level of meaning and adequate on the level of
cause is shown to be a variant of Ihering's purposive definition of
social action.
