The correct answer is
Alfred Schutz

Identifying Critic of Weber's Micro-Sociology

The question asks to identify the sociologist who stated that Max Weber's work on mental processes, while insightful, was not the foundation for micro-sociology.

Alfred Schutz, a key figure in sociological phenomenology, is credited with this view. Schutz focused on the subjective experience and the 'lifeworld' as the basis for social understanding. While acknowledging Weber's contributions, Schutz argued that a phenomenological approach was more fundamental for understanding the constitution of the social world at the micro-level.

Therefore, Alfred Schutz critiqued the extent to which Weber's conceptualization of mental processes could serve as the primary basis for micro-sociology.
