What is central to Weber’s discussion of social action ?
Answer: D
Central to Weber's discussion is interpretative understanding.
Weber defined sociology as a science that attempts the interpretive understanding (Verstehen) of social action in order to arrive at a causal explanation of its course and effects. Social action is behaviour to which the actor attaches a subjective meaning and which takes account of others, so understanding that meaning is the core of his method.
Interaction, knowledge and subject matter are involved, but they are not what Weber placed at the centre.
