CHARISMA ACCORDING TO WEBER,MAX - A SOCIO LOGICAL QUESTION

The central sociological issue in Weber's studies on charisma is to ac count for the emergence, the reproduction, and the eventual disappeara nce of reference systems. Such a preoccupation is in general keeping w ith a comprehensive sociology. Beyond that, these studies also aim to clarify the internal mutations of this type of legitimity, its possibl e conditions, notably in a religious form, relative to specifically mo dern notions of modernisation, secularisation and disenchantment.
