First Published in 1980, Manfred S. Frings' translation of Problems
of a Sociology of Knowledge makes available Max Scheler's important
work in sociological theory to the English-speaking world. The book
presents the thinker's views on man's condition in the
twentieth-century and places it in a broader context of human
history. This book highlights Scheler as a visionary thinker of
great intellectual strength who defied the pessimism that many of
his peers could not avoid. He comments on the isolated, fragmented
nature of man's existence in society in the twentieth century but
suggests that a 'World-Age of Adjustment' is on the brink of
existence. Scheler argues that the approaching era is a time for
the disjointed society of the twentieth-century to heal its
fractures and a time for different forms of human knowledge to come
together in global understanding.
