A ron, R aymond
Raymond Aron (1905–1983) was a twentieth‐century philosopher, sociologist, and political thinker. Author of more than 40 books, he was also a university professor and journalist commentator. Perhaps the most important influence on Aron's thinking was Max Weber. Aron shared Weber's distrust of simple solutions to complex problems as well as a belief in the power of reason.
T roeltsch, E rnst
Ernst Troeltsch (1865–1923) was a leading Protestant theologian, philosopher of culture and history, and political thinker. Along with Max Weber he was the founder of the sociology of religion. Troeltsch's writings on social theory, historicism, and values are primarily intended to address the challenge that modernity poses for Christianity.
T önnies, F erdinand
Ferdinand Tönnies is one of the founders of sociology and his reputation rests primarily on his famous distinction between Gemeinschaft (community) and Gesellschaft (society). The distinction is not as sharp as is sometimes suggested, but Tönnies's two concepts continue to play important roles in understanding both rural and urban sociology.
Authority
Authority is the power that prompts an individual to voluntarily obey. The individual obeys not by force or by persuasion, but because of the belief that that authority possesses legitimate power. There are three types of authority: traditional, legal, and charismatic.
Charisma
Charisma is the extraordinary and revolutionary power that is given to certain people during times of trouble. It is very rare, highly personal, and is often short‐lived. Originally it was thought to apply mainly to certain religious figures, but today its application is far wider.
Economic Sociology
Economic sociology examines the social and cultural factors that condition economic behavior. Max Weber's analysis of the impact of Protestantism on capitalism is a classic illustration. Another example in modern sociology is network analysis. Although economic sociology is a recognized field in the social sciences, there is considerable overlap with the sociology of occupations, sociology of work and jobs, and institutional analysis generally.
