Notes

1. It should be noted that Weberian ideal types are quite distinct from ideal case laws (e.g., Newton's law of inertia). Such laws, while referring to behavior never found in reality, nevertheless specify the conditions under which that behavior would be empirically found. Such laws therefore do constitute empirical generalizations—generalizations which serve as bench marks in the research process and axioms in scientific theory.Google Scholar
