Abstract

The aim of this article is to compare two concepts of sense, the one which underlies Weber's sociology - assumed as a critique of dogmatic disciplines - and the one which underlies Wittgenstein's philosophy - assumed as a critique of metaphysics. This comparison will lead to a socio-linguistic perspective the sociologist may use to analyze the grammatical rules and the stakes for personal power which characterize any interactional game, both in everyday life and in organizations.
