Weber and the Frankfurt School

[LEO MEEKS]

Simon,

i am not so sure about explicit mentioning of Weber but The Dialectic of 
Reason is an excellent place to start as well as discussions of 
reification in Aesthetic Theory (developed from Lukacs' HCC). Also, the 
chapter Avante-garde in Intro. to the Sociology of Music  may be helpful. 
The classic development of Weber remains, however, Lukacs (in HCC and 
Theory of the Novel).
