Who has defined Sociology as a science which attempts to interpretive understanding of social action ?

  • A.Talcott Parsons
  • B.Emile Durkheim
  • C.Max Weber

Answer: C

The definition is Max Weber's.

Weber's definition in Economy and Society reads: sociology is a science which attempts the interpretive understanding of social action in order thereby to arrive at a causal explanation of its course and effects.

Durkheim defined sociology as the science of social facts, Parsons built a general theory of action systems, and Sorokin defined sociology as the study of the general characteristics common to all classes of social phenomena.
