10 Far from formal methodological postulates only, these foundational positions directly anchor Weber’s empirical studies. The investigation of the subjective meaning of action stood at the very center of his famous “Protestant ethic thesis,” for example. Why is it meaningful among members of a particular group, when a eudaemonistic outlook on life would seem preferable, to place methodical, systematic work at the center of their life? Weber engaged throughout his comparative-historical sociology in a massive empirical effort to understand the subjective meaning of “the other” on its own terms, or “from within,” whether that of the Confucian scholar, the Buddhist monk, the Hindu Brahmin, the prophets of the Old Testament, feudal rulers, monarchs and kings, or functionaries in bureaucracies.

The ideal type “bureaucratic functionary” identifies orientations held in common toward work, punctuality, reliability, specialized tasks, and an hierarchical chain of command; and the “charismatic leader” outlines emotional orientations of an audience toward persons viewed as possessing extraordinary qualities. Importantly, each ideal type implies that patterned social action involves a degree of endurance and firmness. Indeed, the regular action-orientations demarcated by ideal types can be understood as, depending upon the push and pull of the configuration of actionorientations within their milieu, potentially asserting an autonomous (eigengesetzliche) influence empirically.
