First published in 1980, this book presents a study of knowledge
and the patterns of social and scientific thought. Keith Dixon
argues that traditional and contemporary formulations of the
sociology of knowledge involve a series of fallacies, and the claim
to reduce knowledge to ideology devalues the role of reasoned
inquiry. Chapters discuss such areas as the theories of Marx and
Mannheim, the sociology of science and of religious belief. With a
detailed conclusion analysing the foundations and limits of the
sociology of knowledge, this reissue will provide an interesting
and useful analysis for students of Sociology.
