Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays on the Sociology of Knowledge When Karl Mannheim died early in 1947 in his fifty-third year, he left a number of unpublished manuscripts in varying stages of completion. At the invitation of Dr. Julia Mannheim, the authors widow and life-long collaborator, I assisted in setting up an editorial team selected from Mannheim's friends and former students, for the purpose of making at least part of that material available for publication. Furthermore, we felt that Mannheim's German writings had retained their full significance and ought to be reproduced in a form accessible to the English-speaking public. In all those decisions we were guided by the conviction that not only do the ideas laid down in these writings form an essential key to the full understanding of Mannheim's work, but they contain a most important and topical contribution to social theory as well as an impetus for social action. The present volume is the sequel to Freedom, Power, and Democratic Planning, which was published in 1950. It contains six essays which Mannheim wrote and published in German scientific magazines between 1923 and 1929: elaborations of one dominant theme, the Sociology of Knowledge, which at the same time represents one of Mannheim's main contributions to sociological theory. During the fifteen years since Mannheim's Ideology and Utopia was first published in this country, the Sociology of Knowledge has moved into the centre of discussion among sociologists and philosophers. The ideas laid down in this new volume should greatly help in clarifying the important issues. The task of translating and editing the German text was performed by Dr. Paul Kecskemeti, Research Associate of the Rand Corporation, Santa Monica, California. He has also contributed an introduction on the history of the problem, and on the treatment it received at successive stages of Mannheim's work.

Book Synopsis An Introduction to the Sociology of Ignorance by : Linsey McGoey
Download or read book An Introduction to the Sociology of Ignorance written by Linsey McGoey and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-01-08 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ignorance is typically thought of as the absence or opposite of knowledge. In global societies that equate knowledge with power, ignorance is seen as a liability that can and should be overcome through increased education and access to information. In recent years, scholars from the social sciences, natural sciences and humanities have challenged this assumption, and have explored the ways in which ignorance can serve as a vital resource – perhaps the most vital resource – in social and political life. In this seminal volume, leading theorists of ignorance from anthropology, sociology and legal studies explore the productive role of ignorance in maintaining and destabilizing political regimes, entrenching corporate power, and shaping policy developments in climate science, global health, and global economic governance. From debates over death tolls during the war in Iraq, to the root causes of the global financial crisis, to poverty reduction strategies at the World Bank, contributors shed light on the unexpected ways that ignorance is actively harnessed by both the powerful and the marginalized in order to achieve different objectives. This eye-opening volume suggests that to understand power today, we must enrich our understanding of ignorance. This book was originally published as a special issue of Economy and Society.

Download or read book Essays on the Sociology of Knowledge (Classic Reprint) written by Karl Mannheim and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays on the Sociology of Knowledge Germany. These papers have not been available in English thus far; they have remained scattered in various German publica tions. Their publication in the present collection of Mannheim's writings serves the purpose of illuminating the genesis and forma tion of one of his most important contributions to sociology, the 'sociology of Knowledge'. For reasons of space, two essays of the same period, dealing with the same kind of topic, will be included in a second volume of essays, otherwise devoted to writings published after Mannheim's emigration from Germany in 1933. I have attempted to give a brief survey of the intellectual and political background of these writings, and of the stages through which Mannheim' 5 ideas concerning the sociology of knowledge developed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Karl Mannheim was one of the leading sociologists of the twentieth century.

Book Synopsis Power, Trust, and Meaning by : S. N. Eisenstadt
Download or read book Power, Trust, and Meaning written by S. N. Eisenstadt and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1995-06-15 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: S. N. Eisenstadt is well known for his wide-ranging investigations of modernization, social stratification, revolution, comparative civilization, and political development. This collection of twelve major theoretical essays spans more than forty years of research, to explore systematically the bases of human action and society. Framed by a new introduction and an extensive epilogue, which are themselves important statements about processes of institutional formations and cultural creativity, the essays trace the major developments of contemporary sociological theory and analysis. Examining themes of trust and solidarity among immigrants, youth groups, and generations, and in friendships, kinships, and patron-client relationships, Eisenstadt explores larger questions of social structure and agency, conflict and change, and the reconstitution of the social order. He looks also at political and religious systems, paying particular attention to great historical empires and the major civilizations. United by what they reveal about three major dimensions of social life—power, trust, and meaning—these essays offer a vision of culture as both a preserving and a transforming aspect of social life, thus providing a new perspective on the relations between culture and social structure.

Book Synopsis The New Sociology of Knowledge by : Michaela Pfadenhauer
Download or read book The New Sociology of Knowledge written by Michaela Pfadenhauer and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on 2013 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A classical sociologist can be defined as someone whose "works occupied a central position among the sociological ideas and notions of an era." Following this criterion, Michaela Pfadenhauer demonstrates the relevance of Peter L. Berger's work to the sociology of knowledge. Pfadenhauer shows that Berger is not only a sociologist of religion, but one whose works are characterized by a sociology-of-knowledge perspective. Berger stands out among his fellow social scientists both quantitatively and qualitatively. He has written numerous books, which have been translated into many languages, and a multitude of essays in scholarly journals and popular magazines. For decades, he has played a role in shaping both public debate and social scientific discourse in America and far beyond. As a sociologist of knowledge, Berger has played three roles: he has been a theoretician of modern life, an analyst of modern religiosity, and an empiricist of global economic culture. In all areas, the focus on processes rather than status quo is characteristic of Berger's thinking. This book provides an in-depth view on the critical thinking of one of the most important sociologists that present times has to offer. It includes four written essays by Berger.
