With the concept of the“politician”attempts Max Weber to respond to the crisis of modernity.The concealment of politics by a rationalized bureaucracy is an important symptom of this crisis,which must be overcome by introducing the irrational element of the politician.Practically,politicians are the key to political leadership and resisting the bureaucratic encroachment on politics;ideologically,politicians are the pivot for the reconstruction of the public sphere,at the same time,they have the task of preserving the results of rationalization.The“politician”takes a teleological dualism as the basis of its relationship model.Since this intellectual postulate cannot be maintained in the modern context,the concept of the“politician”cannot be justified.
