Abstract

The main aim of this research is to study the relationship between the authors of the first generation of critical theory - Max Horkheimer, Theodor Adorno and Herbert Marcuse - with the sociology of Max Weber. Usually, they are analyzed in order to highlight their similarities and their continuities. However, to reconstruct the way in which these frankfurtians incorporated certain Weberian theme, is also necessary to highlight their differences and their breaks not only the frankfurtians with Weber, but even among themselves. More than a simple conceptual transposition, critical to the thought of Weber ownership is still an axis around which to interpret particular aspects of social theory Horkheimer, Adorno and Marcuse (AU)
