Abstract
Weber's discussion of bureaucracy is generally taken as descriptive of organized
structure within a rational-legal society. This is understandable; yet elsewhe Weber's sociology he cautions against precisely this kind of analysis. His cou against reification, his emphasis upon subjective ideas standing behind social ac his characterization of "society" as subjective orientation to legitimacy, his disc of organization and social relationships as probabilities of behavior in accordance subjective belief in their existence, and his tendency to describe the wide range of views within the vocabularies of those who subscribe to them-all mitigate aga viewing his description of bureaucratic standardization as Weber's own world much less as his sociology. Rather the discussion can be understood as a descript bureaucracy from within the bureaucratic setting and as a set of ideas subjectively to as a basis of legitimacy, ideas whose truth value are largely irrelevant for Web analysis. This qualification of bureaucracy as a mentality supplements the more w acknowledged ideal-type qualification and provides a basis for increased Web insight. Such insight dovetails with post-functionalist sociological theory, explains origins and consequences of functionalist theory, and provides new understandi recent findings in empirically based research. Moreover, it helps to focus cu research away from bureaucracy as an existent entity and toward a phenomenon W identifies as the central process of Western civilization: the rationalization (bureaucratization) of human behavior, a process both unfulfillable and unstoppable.
