Abstract

The German sociologist Max Weber (1864-1920), was the founder of "comprehensive" and explanatory sociology , which takes as its starting point, the social actions of individuals, in an attempt to elucidate the reasons. His study of Western society focuses on the rationalization of human activities in political, social and economic spheres. His book, Economy and Society (1922), seeks to define general concepts, such as social action, fighting, power and domination.

It is the process of rationalization in the Western society, an idea taken up and developed by Norbert Elias (1897-1990), in “Dynamics of the West.” Furthermore, Weber described the story as a "constant struggle, most latent time between the holder of power and administrative direction for the appropriation or expropriation of one or the other." In his words, the outcome of this struggle is decisive "for the development of civilization." In this perspective, the analysis of Norbert Elias's historical process of state development owes much to Max Weber as well as Karl Marx. [...]

[...] The three types of domination identified by Max Weber can not be presented in a "pure" form in reality. As the author puts it, "we are here to believe that the historical reality is left trapped in the conceptual scheme.” B.

The typology of domination allows a better understanding of historical political organizations. The administrative bureaucracy is "the purest type of legal domination. It differs from two other types of domination by its rationality. [...]

Bourdieu explains this complicity with domination by the "habitus". "The habitus is the process of internalization by the individual to an objective structure of domination. He brought forth the rule into the mental structures of the individual. [...]
