	Ideal type - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ideal type, also known as pure type, or idealtyp (in the original German), is a typological term invented by sociologist Max Weber (1864-1920).
		An ideal type is formed from characteristics and elements of the given phenomena but it is not meant to correspond to all of the characteristics of any one particular case.
		Some sociologists argue that ideal type tends to focus on extreme phenomena and overlook the connections between them, and that it is difficult to show how the types and their elements fit into a theory of a total social system.

	Chapter II. The Epistemological Problems of the Sciences of Human Action: On Ideal Types
		Ideal types are specific notions employed in historical research and in the representation of its results.
		An ideal type cannot be defined: it must be characterized by an enumeration of those features whose presence by and large decides whether in a concrete instance we are or are not faced with a specimen belonging to the ideal type in question.
		It is not the ideal type that determines the mode of understanding; it is the mode of understanding that requires the construction and use of corresponding ideal types.

	Suri and Huacaya: the Ideal Alpaca - Ideal Alpaca Breed Type
		The alpaca breeder's idea of type is created by their visual picture of the characteristics that are considered ideal for the breed.
		An ideal alpaca's look begins with the head, a dense top knot, and well-covered cheeks converging with the wool cap to form a close V at the eyes, which are brown.
		Ideally, the style of lock should be uniform from the top knot to the hock; particular attention should be paid to uniformity and independence of lock across the mid side.

		It would perhaps be ideal if we were to think of this not as an interdisciplinary but rather a transdisciplinary enterprise—one that defines its concerns as general social problems or issues and does not refer at all to conventional disciplines.
		Other examples of ideal types include descriptions of diseases in medical textbooks, descriptions of birds in Audubon identification guides, and the popular satirical posters of a "nurd” or a "preppie." In each case the ideal type is composed of those traits that are most characteristic of the group under consideration.
		Cicero’s ideal orator—one well-read in general and familiar with law and history in particular, who keeps in mind the needs of the audience and chooses a style appropriate to the subject matter—is an ideal type.

	PTypes - Ideal Types
		Because ideal types are from the outset guided by the values we posit, they remain partial and limited and should not be mistaken for absolute truth.
		'An ideal type is formed by the one-sided accentuation of one or more points of view and by the synthesis of a great many diffuse, discrete, more or less present, and occasionally absent concrete individual phenomena, which are arranged according to those one-sidedly emphasized viewpoints into a unified thought-construct.
		Ideal types, as we have said, are not true or false; they are only helpful or unhelpful in the further investigation of reality.

		Ideal type, in the social sciences, refers to an artificially constructed 'pure type' which emphasizes certain traits of a social item which do not necessarily exist anywhere in reality.
		Attention was first drawn to the ideal type in sociology by Max, Weber (1864-1920) in order to make explicit the procedures by which he believed social scientists formulated general abstract concepts.
		The ideal type should not be confused with the notion of an ideal in a moral sense--that is, an exaggeration of those traits considered desirable.

		Although he or she has a good definition of ideal type, "ideal types may be described as a stereotype of a person, abstracted from individual people and just thought of in general," the application is skewed.
		In a sense, an "ideal type" is like a stereotype, except that Weber wanted to use that concept not in the negative sense of a "stereotype" but rather in the positive sense of trying to sort out from individual cases some general patterns in people's orientations.

	Weber - The Work - Ideal Type (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		An ideal type is an analytical construct that serves the investigator as a measuring rod to ascertain similarities as well as deviations in concrete cases.
		Ideal types enable one to construct hypotheses linking them with the conditions that brought the phenomenon or event into prominence, or with consequences that follow from its emergence.
		First are the ideal types rooted in historical particularities, such as the "western city," "the Protestant Ethic," or "modern capitalism," which refer to phenomena that appear only in specific historical periods and in particular cultural areas.

		His classification of types of action provides a basis for his investigation of the social evolutionary process in which behavior had come to be increasingly dominated by goal-oriented rationality (zweckrational)--less and less by tradition, values or emotions.

		In this ideal type, the private real estate developers that wanted to survive had to do what the local government wanted them to do.

		But what characterises the ideal type of strong local government planning was that the local government was not dependent upon the views of private real estate firms.

		It is quite true also of the concepts of economics that they are "never empirically identifiable in reality" in their "conceptual purity."[28] Concepts are never and nowhere to be found in reality; they belong rather to the province of thought.
		The 'ideal type' is a logical discovery, It is not an 'invention.' In no way did Max Weber want to urge anything upon science that it had not already accomplished.
		However, an evaluation of the concept of the ideal type, as it is newly conceived by Schütz, would exceed the scope of this treatise.

	Varenne: Max Weber on the "ideal-type"
		Its relationship to the empirical data consists solely in the fact that where market-conditioned relationships of the type referred to by the abstract construct are discovered or suspected to exist in reality to some extent, we can make the characteristic features of this relationship pragmatically clear and understandable by reference to an ideal-type.
		An ideal type is formed by the one-sided accentuation of one or more points of view and by the synthesis of a great many diffuse, discrete, more or less present and occasionally absent concrete individual phenomena, which are arranged according to those one-sidedly emphasized viewpoints into a unified analytical construct (Gedankenbild).
		Now there are two aspects to this: in the first place, there are certain relationships between the "idea" in the sense of a tendency of practical or theoretical thought and the "idea" in the sense of the ideal-typical portrayal of an epoch constructed as a heuristic device.

		In her profile of the Japanese-born and -trained dancer Koichi Kubo (see cover and pages 64 to 68), Janine Gastineau discusses the long-held concept of the "ideal dancer" that has been handed down from generation to generation.
		This "ideal" tended to compartmentalize dancers into rigid categories--short dancers, for example, were condemned to a professional life of dancing character roles.
		We might remember that had Baryshnikov, a short dancer, stayed in Russia, where he did not meet the Soviet ideal of the danseur noble, his career would unquestionably have taken a very different direction.

	A Gröbner Basis Theorem on Elimination Ideals
		If one has a Gröbner Basis with respect to certain types of monomial orders, then, if one considers the subset of the Gröbner Basis which lies in the j-th elimination ideal, then this set is itself a Gröbner Basis and generates the j-th elimination ideal.
		More precisely, the union of the categories which are subsets of the j-th elimination ideal is a generating set for the j-th elimination ideal.
		Elimination ideals (and, therefore, Gröbner Basis with respect to term orders of elimination type) can be used to simplify the problem of finding common zeros of sets of polynomial equations.
