Synopsis

""An Ideology and Utopia: An Introduction to the Sociology of Knowledge"" is a thought-provoking book written by Karl Mannheim, a prominent sociologist of the 20th century. The book explores the relationship between ideology, utopia, and knowledge, and how these concepts shape our understanding of the world around us.Mannheim argues that our beliefs and ideas are not just individualistic but are also shaped by the social structures and institutions we exist in. He suggests that our knowledge is not objective but is rather a product of our social and historical context. The book delves into the various forms of knowledge, including scientific, religious, and philosophical, and how they are influenced by the dominant ideologies of their time.Mannheim also examines the role of utopia in shaping our beliefs and ideas. He argues that utopia is not just a fantasy but is an essential part of human thought and action. Utopian ideas can help us envision a better future and inspire us to work towards creating a more just and equitable society.Overall, ""An Ideology and Utopia: An Introduction to the Sociology of Knowledge"" is a fascinating exploration of the relationship between ideology, utopia, and knowledge. It challenges readers to think critically about the ideas and beliefs they hold and how they are shaped by the social and historical context in which they exist. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in sociology, philosophy, or social theory.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
