Max Weber (1862-1920)
Is also one of the three “fathers of sociology". His primary focus was the role of religion as the catalyst of social change. His understanding of peoples’ actions emphasized the meaning or purpose behind them, and he’s famous for his theory of “Protestant Ethic,” which states that the cultural influences of the Protestant religion brought about the rise of capitalism.
