This book explores the contemporary nature of Max Weber's work by
looking in detail at his key concepts of rationalization and
disenchantment. Thematic parallels are drawn between Weber's
rationalization thesis and the critiques of contemporary culture
developed by Jean-Francois Lyotard, Michel Foucault and Jean
Baudrillard. It is suggested that these three 'postmoden' thinkers
develop and respond to Weber's analysis of modernity by pursuing
radical strategies of affirmation and re-enchantment. Examining the
work of these three key thinkers in this way casts new light both
on postmodern theory and on Weber's sociology of rationalization.
