Synopsis

With Gramsci’s theory of hegemony as his starting point, this volume provides a comprehensive socio-analysis of Max Weber’s political and intellectual position in the ideological network of his time. Rehmann lucidly and witheringly argues that, even though Weber presents his science as’value-free,’ the forefather of sociology’s system is best understood as an organic intellectual of the bourgeoisie advocating for a new model of capitalist hegemony.
