Hanno and others, You may be interested in this very thought provoking paper by Alan Norrie on Adorno and Bhaskar. It focuses on Adorno's critique not of Weber and Durkheim but Kant. http://www.sussex.ac.uk/spt/archives/anorrie200211.rtf. I find Adorno's formulations often opaque (especially in Negative Dialectics), and don't think I would have understood them if I had not already read Pashukanis and Franz Neumann on the nature of the law. More than twenty years ago, Norrie wrote in defense of the former against important criticisms by Warrington. Adorno is certainly implicitly ambivalent about the critique of Kantian liberalism carried out by Pashukanis. Yours, Rakesh
