Synopses & Reviews
With Gramscis theory of hegemony as its starting point, this volume provides a comprehensive socio-analysis of Max Webers political and intellectual position in the ideological network of his time. Rehmann lucidly and witheringly argues that, even though Weber presents his science asvalue-free, the forefather of sociologys system is best understood as the program of an organic intellectual of the bourgeoisie.
