Karl Mannheim's sociology as political education

Karl Mannheim's Sociology as Political Education is a joint effort by two authors who have written separately on Karl Mannheim's sociological work and who write from different disciplines and traditions of commentary.

The Mannheim who emerges from this volume is a remarkably contemporary partner for current discussions, where the threat to academic integrity is found less in sociology than in certain areas of cultural studies and where the issue of politicization is less well understood by both sides of the debate than by Mannheim in his time.
