About this title

About the Author:

Karl Mannheim (1893-1947) held academic posts at the universities of Heidelberg, Frankfurt, and London. His major works include Ideology and Utopia, Man and Society in an Age of Reconstruction, Diagnosis of Our Time, Essays on the Sociology of Culture, Freedom, Power and Democratic Planning, Structures of Thinking, and Conservatism.

Louis Wirth (1897-1952) was both educated at the University of Chicago and, after a brief period at Tulane University, became a member of its Sociology Department for the remainder of his life. His work "Urbanism as a Way of Life" served as a paradigm in the intellectual history of the profession.
