Sinn (translated as sense) is a term which Max Weber defined as the subjective meaning of social actions. So it is a individual view on why an action is taken. He used this term to understand society by understanding subjective aspects of interpersonal activities and/or actions. According to Weber, to understand this entering into the mind and feelings of the social actors is required. Sinn is a part of the feelings of social actors.
