Intellectual Development of Karl Mannheim: Culture, Politics, and Planning

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 new and convincing interpretation of many of his works, particularly the most famous, Ideology and Utopia.Loader, Colin is the author of 'Intellectual Development of Karl Mannheim: Culture, Politics, and Planning' with ISBN 9780521265676 and ISBN 0521265673.
