“…Turner (1983:511) pointed out that Weber manages to refrain from giving "objective correctness any special metaphysical status in relation to explanation." Giddens (1970) and Howard (1977) were remindful that Marx, as was Weber, was very conscious of the rational. "The rationalizing character of capitalism is manifest most directly, for Marx, in the utter dominance of money in human social relationships, and of the pursuit of money as an end in itself" (Giddens, 1970:302).…”

“…"The rationalizing character of capitalism is manifest most directly, for Marx, in the utter dominance of money in human social relationships, and of the pursuit of money as an end in itself" (Giddens, 1970:302). And finally, on a much larger scale, Howard (1977) recalled that for Marx the assumption is that "history and its milieu are ultimately progressing towards a goal which is already essentially prefigured in the present. A telos is presupposed" (Howard, 1977:282).…”

This comparative study was undertaken in the belief that our understanding of the modern economic spirit, volatility of global markets and political activism can be furthered by revisiting Marx"s and Weber"s sociological, philosophical, economic and religious explanations of the rise of capitalism. The author identifies and reconsiders much of the scholarly literature on the argument that there are themes of illusion, mystification and irrationality in the classical theorists" explanations and that the themes are antagonists in much of the original writings.

“…Ju Èrgen Habermas later took over at Frankfurt University from Horkheimer, in 1964, before establishing his own research centre at the Max Planck Institute in Starnbeg, West Germany, in 1971(Held, 1980. Much of this historical development is well captured by others (see Giroux, 1983;Held, 1980;Howard, 1988;Jay, 1996;Rasmussen, 1996;Tar, 1977;Wiggershaus, 1994), but it needs to be appreciated that one sense in which the term critical theory is used is to refer collectively to the body of work that emerged from the scholars of the Frankfurt School. The second meaning of the terminology``critical theory'' ± which also simultaneously includes, as perhaps the major instance, the work of those associated with the Frankfurt School ± is one which resonates with a particular process of critique, the origins of which owe multiple allegiances.…”

The dialectic logic that was championed by the group of scholars collectively known as the Frankfurt School is outlined and it is noted how dialectics transcends binary oppositional thinking. It is argued that the body of work of these scholars has a strong contemporary relevance to issues in the management of change in organizations. The other papers in the issue are introduced.

347first examines the context in which policymaking takes place. It aims to clarify some of the ways in which the structure, culture and organisation of social science differs in Britain and the US and to explore the effects of this on the content and conduct of research. The second section deals with some of the methodological issues in policy research while the third examines the political context of social science funding. This section provides two very interesting accounts of the policies of the Reagan and Thatcher governments towards social science research in the 1980s.Like Wenger's book Bulmer's collection is not as pessimistic about the future of social science funding as many people have previously been. Furthermore, while it shows an awareness of many of the difficulties of policy research it refuses to engage in the head in the sand and purist approach espoused by some social scientists who refuse to have anything to do with applied, governmentfunded policy research for fear of being tainted.The book consists of original papers written by contributors most of whom have had experience in government research. The quality of the papers reflects this experience and provides useful insights into the relationship between social science research and government. It should be of interest to policy makers and researchers both within and outside of government.
