Science and the Sociology of Knowledge (RLE Social Theory)

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.

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.

The rest of the book is devoted to developing a preliminary interpretation of the social creation of scientific knowledge.
