Summary/Abstract: Webber's interest is primarily political-ideologocal. His interest for the current problems and the crisis of capitalism, which he is trying to resolve, derive from this perspective. Webber considers that due to the development of capitalism and his transition to a bureaucratic phase, in which creativity has been lost, and due to the threat of socialism, which is again possible only as a bureaucratic system, the solution should be sought in the acts of a charismatic person. The principle of leadership is therefore given an important position in social life. However, Webber's work is not only an apology of ideology and politics, but also a successful combination of science and politics, values and facts, romantism and rationalism, which is not the characteristic of all authors and which makes Webber an exceptional social philosopher!
