Skabelsen af det moderne subjekt: Magt og subjektivitet hos Weber, Elias og Foucault

It argues that their work each make key contributions to the genealogy of the modern subject, using a similar approach to history and sharing a similar focus and power in social life. Yet, there are also important differences that should be acknowledged when trying to unify the three criticial thinkers.
