Wertrational, value rational, which is sort of doing something being because it is intrinsically valuable, because it is unarguably valuable for what it is, not instrumentally rational for something else, zweckrational (ends-rational, Humean goal-directed rationality). Weber didn't so much associate this with self-realization and disalienation in creative activity the way Marx did, but Marx's notion has the element of "real freedom" important from Rousseau, Kant and Hegel, where what makes intrinsically valuable activity is obedience to the law one gives to one;self (see the discussion of Smith in the Grundrisse), a less clean notion of intrinsic value than Weber's.
