| Definition / notes: | This is not social behaviour (comportamento sociale) but a specific term of sociology. This may refer to the Max Weber's idea of social action as the cornerstone of sociology: Weber, it is often said, conceived of sociology as a comprehensive science of social action. His initial theoretical focus is on the subjective meaning that humans attach to their actions in their interactions with one another within specific social contexts. In this connection, Weber distinguishes between four major types of social action... Social action is also in the title of a book by eminent sociologist Talcott Parsons The Structure of Social Action. |
