Question

German for "understanding." The concept of Verstehen comes from Max Weber and is the basis of interpretive sociology in which researchers imagine themselves experiencing the life positions of the social actors they want to understand rather than treating those people as objects to be examined.

Answer 1

Answer:

Verstehen

Explanation:

Max Weber was a modern sociologist from the past century that believed that observable facts in society can translate in understanding what goes inside in the lives of people according to their local perspective and that this would enable for an overall better understanding (Verstehen) of how actually would society work at the largest scale.

All facts or events that involve human society could then be understood, if recognized the individual meaning and personal factors in social actions.

Some other of his predecessors like Durkheim or August Comte, would treat social actions as "things" and would rather seek to look for structures in all aspects of social life.
