Infos

Through a detailed reading of Karl Mannheim's early explorations in the sociology of knowledge, this book argues for Mannheims relevance for contemporary social and political theory. As a philosophical project of self-reflection, the early sociology of knowledge is distinctive for its blend of Marxist social theory and phenomenological investigation, making it a valuable resource for current philosophical attempts to relate thought to its social conditions. Furthermore, the struggle documented in the early days of this project against social critique's tendency to obscure its own perspective provides the best standard by which to assess its own limitations.
