Abstract
Frederic Vandenberghe, Social Reification and Methodological Choice ; Analysis of the way Marx, Simmel, Weber, Lukacs and Habermas use the notion of rzification is instructive in developing a critique of the pseudo-natural and alienating autonomization of social systems that escape human control.
