Abstract. The article considers Max Weber’s ideal-typical model in social and humanities cognition. Basing on the distinguishing features of this model, the definition of "ideal type" is given. The comparative analysis is carried out between the ideal-typical model and models built using external analogies - the social organism, the social mechanism, and so on. As a result of the comparison, the author reveals that modeling by means of ideal types has a greater heuristic value than modeling with the help of physical or biological models.
Key words and phrases: идеальный тип, модель, социальный организм, социальный механизм, внешние аналогии, социально-гуманитарное познание, ideal type, model, social organism, social mechanism, external analogies, social and humanities cognition
