This essay argues that Johannes von Kries analysis of the status in the criminal law of the rationally intending subject and the doctrine of mens rea so closely associated with it (cf. Kries, 1886; 1888) was well known to Max Weber, who had initially trained in law, and highly significant both for the development of his sociology of subjective understanding and his parallel view that the social sciences must be jointly committed to combining a generalizing objective with an individualizing method in their research. It also sees many indications that Weber believed that social scientific investigations could and should go further toward franchising the subject of such social research by encouraging active, even critical responses in his/her testimony in the interests of better achieving both causal and meaning adequacy. From this it would have been only a short step to what I call the practical activation of Alfred Schutz’s postulate of adequacy, which requires that intellectual type constructs in the social sciences not only make sense to research subjects but accord with their perceptions, observations and views. The essay discusses the obstacles provided by the environing authoritarian social and political framework, including the trajectories of those professions on which the social sciences had little choice but to model themselves, as reasons explaining why practical activation of the postulate of adequacy has not yet fully come to pass. It concludes by addressing new Weber scholarship which sees him as a complex and dynamic probabilist whose constructivist and interpretivist theory of human social action is based much more on Chance and orientation than we thought, even to the point of being a model for practical activation of the postulate of adequacy as well as a new and revised basis for the analysis of social interaction itself (see Weber, [1913] (1981).

本文认为约翰内斯·冯·克里斯对理性意图主体在刑法中的地位和犯罪意图原则的分析与此密切相关的理论（参见 Kries，1886；1888）对于最初受过法律训练的马克斯·韦伯来说是众所周知的，对于他的主观理解社会学的发展以及他认为社会科学必须共同致力于在研究中将普遍目标与个体化方法相结合。它还看到许多迹象表明，韦伯认为，社会科学研究可以而且应该通过鼓励在他/她的证词中做出积极的甚至批判性的回应，以更好地实现因果和意义的充分性，从而进一步推动此类社会研究主题的特许经营。从此，距离我所说的阿尔弗雷德·舒茨的充分性假设的实际激活只有一小步，这要求社会科学中的知识类型建构不仅对研究对象有意义，而且符合他们的感知、观察和观点。本文讨论了周围威权主义社会和政治框架所带来的障碍，包括社会科学别无选择只能自我建模的那些职业的轨迹，以此作为解释充分性假设的实际激活尚未完全到来的原因。通过。最后，它讨论了新的韦伯学术，将韦伯视为一位复杂而动态的概率论者，其人类社会行为的建构主义和解释主义理论更多地基于 本文讨论了周围威权主义社会和政治框架所带来的障碍，包括社会科学别无选择只能自我建模的那些职业的轨迹，以此作为解释充分性假设的实际激活尚未完全到来的原因。通过。最后，它讨论了新的韦伯学术，将韦伯视为一位复杂而动态的概率论者，其人类社会行为的建构主义和解释主义理论更多地基于 本文讨论了周围威权主义社会和政治框架所带来的障碍，包括社会科学别无选择只能自我建模的那些职业的轨迹，以此作为解释充分性假设的实际激活尚未完全到来的原因。通过。最后，它讨论了新的韦伯学术，将韦伯视为一位复杂而动态的概率论者，其人类社会行为的建构主义和解释主义理论更多地基于机会和方向超出了我们的想象，甚至成为充分性假设的实际激活模型以及社会互动本身分析的新的和修订的基础（参见 Weber，[1913]（1981）。
