iron cage of rationality









In sociology, the iron cage is a term coined by Max Weber for the increased rationalization inherent in social life, particularly in Western capitalist societies. The "iron cage" thus traps individuals in systems based purely on teleological efficiency, rational calculation and control. Weber also described the bureaucratization of social order as "the polar night of icy darkness".[1]








HE says it is capitalism that is primary driving force behind this iron cage... now behind capitalism is religion only ... so one can say that rational action has only been brought abt by traditional or value actions ..lol
