Description

Under Weber's Shadow provides a deep critical evaluation of the social and political thought of Jurgen Habermas, Hannah Arendt, and Alasdair MacIntyre. This work examines how these three influential theorists respond to Max Weber's diagnosis of late modernity. While these thinkers come from different philosophical traditions, they all begin with Weber's observation of rationalization and disenchantment. They explore the paradox of a world where processes promising freedom simultaneously threaten servitude under the iron cage of instrumental reason. This book investigates how each thinker rejects Weber's pessimistic view regarding the possibilities of political life. It offers a detailed look at how modernity, subjectivity, and politics intersect through these distinct philosophical lenses, making it a valuable resource for students and scholars of sociology and political theory.
