===================== HES POSTING ===================== Among Weber's contemporaries who criticized his concept of "Wissenschaft" was also Otto Neurath, the economist and sociologist from the Vienna Circle. You will find the most important Neurathian critiques of Weber in "Soziologie im Physikalismus" (1931). I also suggest you look in the name register of Neurath's "Gesammelte philosophische und methodologische Schriften" vol.2. (1981) As secondary literature to Neurath Danilo Zolo's book "Reflexive Epistemology: the philosophical legacy of Otto Neurath" (1989) can also be useful. Further, the book "Max Weber und seine Zeitgenossen" (1988) edited by W.J. Mommsen and W. Schwnetker may be useful to find other critics among Weber's contemporaries. (There is an English edition of the book too.) Best wishes, Agnes Miklos Illes ============ FOOTER TO HES POSTING ============ For information, send the message "info HES" to [log in to unmask]
