Max Weber: Modernisation As Passive Revolution: A Gramscian Analysis cover

Basing his research on Gramsci's theory of hegemony, Jan Rehmann provides a comprehensive socio-analysis of Max Weber's political and intellectual position in the ideological network of his time. Max Weber: Modernisation As Passive Revolution shows that, even though Weber presents his science as 'value-free', he is best understood as an organic intellectual of the bourgeoisie, who has the mission of providing his class with an intense ethico-political education.

Praise for Theories of Ideology

Jan Rehmann has given us a marvelous gift."
Cornel West

My own intellectual and political conviction is that we need the concept of ideology all the more urgently today, when its use has been stigmatized by contemporary philosophy. Rehmann's book provides a detailed and indispensable account of its history, the various modern versions of the concept and the debates which have swirled around it: just what we need to make a new beginning!"
Fredric Jameson
