Karl Mannheim's Ideology and Utopia has been a profoundly
provocative book. The debate about politics and social knowledge
that was spawned by its original publication in 1929 attracted the
most promising younger scholars, some of whom shaped the thought of
several generations. The book became a focus for a debate on the
methodological and epistemological problems confronting German
social science. More than thirty major papers were published in
response to Mannheim's text. Writers such as Hannah Arendt, Ernst
Robert Curtius, Max Horkheimer, Herbert Marcuse, Helmuth Plessner,
Hans Speier and Paul Tillich were among the contributors. Their
positions varied from seeing in the sociology of knowledge a
sophisticated reformulation of the materialist conception of
history to linking its popularity to a betrayal of Marxism. The
English publication in 1936 defined formative issues for two
generations of sociological self-reflection. Knowledge and Politics
provides an introduction to the dispute and reproduces the leading
contributions. It sheds new light on one of the greatest
controversies that have marked German social science in the past
hundred years.
