"Max Weber is one of the most prominent classical sociologists who succeeded in bridging the hiatus between understanding and causal explanation. This discourse attempts to examine both the acknowledged and unacknowledged influence of weber's methodological ideas on the contributions of Parsons, Merton, Schuetz and Garfinkel. It also gives some new additional pattern-variables in parsonian framework. Besides, it also seeks to examine Weber's methodological ideas in the light of anekant and syadvad of Jain philosophy to resolve the theoretical crises and dilemmas of sociological theory.Thus, the book provides a fresh perspective to analyse these theories and makes a lucid presentation of the theoretical-methodological issues and dilemmas. This book will interest all students, academics and scholars of sociological theory, weberian sociology and research methodology."
