Document Summary
All social facts being analyzed through human means. The notion of ideal type has a way of aggregating meaning to a group of persons. If you aggregate meaning for the collective or individual you are combining nominalism and realmism, you are talking about an aggregate and or an individual. Prof uses a nr, becuase he is a nominalist and a realist. Weber challenges us by stating that these four types of actions constitute a universal possibilities for human behaviours, we cant do anything but some combinations of these four actions. In which the means of the action and the ends of action can vary. How you do things can vary the ends of action could. All action that could vary was oriented by the actors meaning system to a value. Weber was worried not a 5th kind of action but rather the variation of two of these actions and maybe three.
