The primary concern of this study is to present, elucidate and
analyse the developments which have characterized the sociology of
knowledge, and which have set for it the outlines of its major
problematics. Peter Hamilton examines the most distinctive
approaches to the determinate relationship between knowledge and
social structure. He considers the three main 'pre-paradigms' of
the sociology of knowledge based on the work of Marx, Durkheim and
Weber, and looks at the contribution of Scheler, Mannheim and
phenomenological studies to this complex field. He explores the
intellectual context, particularly that of Enlightenment
philosophy, in which the problems involved in producing a sociology
of knowledge first came to light. In conclusion, the author
suggests an inclusive perspective for approaching the difficulties
posed in any attempt to describe and explain relations between
knowledge and social structure.
