About the book
"This book explores thematic parallels between Max Weber's sociology of culture and the critical theories of modernity developed by Lyotard, Foucault and Baudrillard. It is suggested that these three theorists, associated with post-structuralism and postmodernism, respond to Weber's account of the rise, nature and trajectory of modern culture by pursuing transgressive strategies of affirmation and re-enchantment. Examining the work of these three key thinkers in this way casts new light on postmodern theory and on Weber's sociology of rationalization and his theory of the crisis of modernity."--BOOK JACKET.
