First Edition. 1986. viii, 256pp. "Thomas Kuhn, the historian of science, has pointed out that new developments in science are often more decisively influenced by exemplary empirical studies than they are by exclusively theoretical reflections on scientific theories. This also applies to the work of Karl Mannheim. If Structures of Thinking and Ideology and Utopia represent Mannheim's important theoretical exercises, his study of German conservatism is without doubt the work which proved to be paradigmatic for the sociology of knowledge. Many social scientists - even those not wholly satisfied with Mannheim's attempts to work out the theoretical presuppositions and implications of a sociology of knowledge - acknowledge the importance of Mannheim's inquiry into the origins of German conservatism. They see it as a decisive influence in the scientific enterprise of showing the social roots of complex intellectual structures without reductionism of the ideas or sociologically undifferentiated imputations. However, this powerful and influential work has never been published in full in either German or English. The full text, presented for the first time in this volume, makes it possible to get a better understanding of the influential effects of Mannheim's study. Above all, it gives new insight into the structure, genealogy and development of the conservative style of thought." Both book and unclipped dust jacket are in excellent condition. All contents are tight and clean. There are no inscriptions.

Per Wikipedia, Karl Mannheim (1893 - 1947) Was A Hungarian Sociologist And A Key Figure In Classical Sociology As Well As One Of The Founders Of The Sociology Of Knowledge. Mannheim Is Best Known For His Book Ideology And Utopia (1929/1936), In Which He Distinguishes Between Partial And Total Ideologies, And Also Between Ideologies That Provide Support For Existing Social Arrangements, And Utopias, Which Look To The Future And Propose A Transformation Of Society. In The Early Part Of His Stay In Germany, Mannheim Published His Doctoral Dissertation "Structural Epistemology Of Knowledge", Which Discusses His Theory Of The Structure Of Epistemology, The "Relations Between The Knower, The Known And The To Be Known?For Mannheim Based On Psychology, Logic And Ontology".] Mannheim Posits The "Danger Of Relativism", In Which The Historical Process Yields Cultural Products: "If Thought To Be Relative To A Historical Period, It May Be Unavailable To A Historical Period". Mannheim's Theory On The Sociology Of Knowledge Is Based On Some Of The Epistemological Discoveries Of Immanuel Kant. Sociology Of Knowledge Is Known As A Section Of The Greater Field Known As The Sociology Of Culture. The Idea Of Sociology Of Culture Is Defined As The Relationship Between Culture And Society. There Are Two Main Branches Of Sociology Of Culture: A Moderate Branch And A Radical Branch. The Moderate Branch Is Represented By Max Scheler, Who Believed That Social Conditions Do Not Affect The Content Of Knowledge. The Radical Branch, On The Contrary, Highlighted That Society Is Determined By All Aspects Of Culture. When It Came To The Sociology Of Knowledge, Mannheim Believed That It Established A Dependence Of Knowledge On Social Reality.[18] Though Mannheim Was Far From Being A Marxist, Sociology Of Knowledge Was Largely Based On Marx's Theories Regarding Classes. In 1933, Mannheim Was Ousted From His Professorship Under The Terms Of The Anti-Semitic Law To Purge The Civil Service And Was Forced Into Exile. After Fleeing The Nazi Regime And Settling In Britain, Mannheim Became A Lecturer In Sociology At The London School Of Economics, Under A Program To Assist Academic Exiles.In His British Phase Mannheim Attempted A Comprehensive Analysis Of The Structure Of Modern Society By Way Of Democratic Social Planning And Education. Mannheim's First Major Work Published During This Period Was Man And Society In An Age Of Reconstruction 1935, In Which He Argues For A Shift From The Liberal Order Of Laissez-Faire Capitalism, "Founded On The Unregulated Trade Cycle, Unextended Democracy, Free Competition And Ideas Of Competitive Individualism" To Planned Democracy. In Diagnosis Of Our Time, Mannheim Expands On This Argument And Expresses Concern For The Transition From Liberal Order To Planned Democracy, According To Longhurst, Arguing ".The Embryonic Planned Democratic Society Can Develop Along Democratic Or Dictatorial Routes.As Expressed In The Totalitarian Societies Of Nazi Germany And The Soviet Union". His Work Was Admired More By Educators, Social Workers, And Religious Thinkers Than It Was By The Small Community Of British Sociologists. His Books On Planning Nevertheless Played An Important Part In The Political Debates Of The Immediate Post-War Years, Both In The United States And In Several European Countries.
