Social science term
Ideal type, also known as pure type, is a typological term most closely associated with the sociologist Max Weber. For Weber, the conduct of social science depends upon the construction of abstract, hypothetical concepts. The "ideal type" is therefore a subjective element in social theory and research, and one of the subjective elements distinguishing sociology from natural science. Wikipedia
