Synopsis

Karl Mannheim was a social theorist writing in the first half of this century. Largely inspired by Mannheim's own historical sociology of knowledge, Loader presents a thorough and penetrating survey of the entire corpus of his work, as well as discussing that of his contemporaries. He sets Mannheim's writings in their historical and intellectual context, thereby giving rise to a distinct and convincing interpretation of many of his works, particularly the most famous, Ideology and Utopia.
