Hello, I am a research postgraduate student at Cardiff. My research 
focuses on the theorization of reason and rationality in Weber and 
the classical Frankfurt School (i.e. Adorno, Horkheimer and Marcuse). 
Apart from the essay by Marcuse on Industrialization and Capitalism, 
a quick mention of Weber in Horkheimer's Eclipse of Reason, and also 
in Adorno's Negative Dialectics I have not had much luck on finding 
much discussion of Weber by these three authors.  Does anyone on this 
list know of any other places in Adorno, Horkheimer and Marcuse's work 
where they discuss Weber? I will be most grateful for any information 
provided.
I will be away for the rest of this week so unfortunately I cannot 
reply immediately to any questions you may have. Thanks in advance, 
Simon Hopper (ssosh1@cf.ac.uk)
