The article is concerned with interpretations of Max Weber in general sociology. It describes the 'Parsonization' and the 'de-Parsonization' of Weber in the American sociological literature, interpretations in the theory of action, empirical sociology, the sociology of race as well as in the theory of social stratification. The influence of Weber on the rational choice theory and the 'neo-charismatic' theory of leadership are discussed. Two questions are asked: whether Weberianism can be an appropriate program for transition and whether history should dominate over sociology?

This article focuses on the problems and contradictions of sociological theories of action. It investigates critically the development of the theory of action after the Parsonian synthesis, drawing attention to the limitations of articulating the concept of action systematically within a presuppositional framework of analytical theory. Having exposed Parsons general theory of action and some interpretations and criticisms, the paper addresses the so-called 'return of grand theory', spearheaded in the early 1980s by authors such as Alexander, Habermas, Giddens and Luhmann. The article analyses the conceptual innovations introduced by their theories according to Parsons own definition of theoretical work, which - as he said - consists in reconstruction and transformation of categories in the moments of their failure. While it is argued that sociological theory cannot do away with general concepts, it is also argued that these need not have the form of a synthetic theory of action of the kind outlined by Parsons and the Post-Parsonians.

Research crossing boundaries between sociology and economics result in new subdisciplines. The most significant ones are economic sociology, institutional economics and rational choice theory. Scholars from these areas strive to justify distinctiveness of their approaches, they stress theoretical advantages of economics as a science, while sociology is regarded mainly as a field of empirical research. Contesting such an approach, the authoress focuses on theories of Talcott Parsons, Niklas Luhmann and Pierre Bourdieu as examples of a 'sociological approach' to economic phenomena. .
