Learning from Franz L. Neumann - Law, Theory, and the Brute Facts of Political Life
A labor lawyer and publicist of weight in the Weimar Republic, Franz Neumann devoted his 21-year exile, after 1933, to understanding the failure of arrangements supposed to be in the line of social progress. He sought to delineate a new conception of democracy as a vehicle of social change. "Learning from Franz Neumann" examines Neumann's social and political theory in the context of his career as a practitioner, learner, and teacher

Karl Mannheim and the Crisis of Liberalism
To reflect on Karl Mannheim is to address fundamental issues of political enlightenment Mannheim's driving determination "was to learn as a sociologist by close observation the secret (even if it is infernal) of these new times." Mannheim's aim was "to carry liberal values forward." His problem remains irresistible to reflective people at the end of the twentieth century. Mannheim attempted to link social thinking to political emancipation despit…
Sociology as Political Education
German professors and academic intellectuals are often blamed for passivity or complicity in the National Socialist rise to power. Karl Mannheim was a leading representative of a vital minority of university personalities who devoted themselves to making sociology and higher education contribute to democratization. Sociology as Political Education is both an analytical account of Mannheim's efforts as well as an illustration of the application of…
Scp>M annheim, K arl (1893–1947)
Karl Mannheim's most important contribution to sociology is his exploratory work on the sociology of knowledge. There is a political dimension to his work, but it is increasingly recognized that his efforts bear on continuing problems of the discipline, as witness his constructive engagement with Max Weber's methodology
M annheim, K arl
The continuing theme of Karl Mannheim's social theory is education for rational orientation in a changing world. The central strategy of that endeavor is a distantiation from oneself to gain a more comprehensive perspective. This approach evolved from Mannheim's early cultural sociology to its more political successor, the sociology of knowledge, and finally to the theory of planning.
N eumann, F ranz L .
The German‐born political theorist Franz Leopold Neumann (1900–1954) was prominent among the exile scholars who brought the contested legacy of German social theory to American social and political science after 1933, especially in the study of modern democratic and dictatorial states. Neumann characterized himself as a “political intellectual.” His record suggests that he meant by this an active political agent who draws on the work of more acad…

La sociologie comme vocation. Viola Klein et Karl Mannheim
Cet article met en lumière certains pans fondamentaux des travaux de Viola Klein, en les comparant à ceux de Karl Mannheim. Il montre en quoi Klein utilise la sociologie de la connaissance pour son propre compte. Elle le fait en questionnant le rapport entre idéologie et savoir sur les femmes, dans l’optique abandonnée par Mannheim au moment de son exil en Angleterre. Elle examine attentivement le dilemme de ce qu’elle nomme le ‘caractère féminin…
Karl Mannheim and the Legacy of Max Weber
This book focuses on the important work of Karl Mannheim by demonstrating how his theoretical conception of a reflexive sociology took shape as a collaborative empirical research programme. The authors show how contemporary work along these lines can benefit from the insights of Mannheim and his students into both morphology and genealogy. It returns Mannheim's sociology of knowledge inquiries into the broader context of a wider project in histor…

How can we tell it to the children?' A deliberation at the Institute of Social Research
To introduce an archival protocol of a 'Debate about methods in the social sciences, especially the conception of social science method represented by the Institute', held on 17 January 1941 at the Institute of Social Research in New York, the article focuses on certain conflicts in substance and terms of discourse among members of the Institute, with special emphasis on Franz Neumann's distinctive approaches, notwithstanding his professed loyalt…
Karl Mannheim's Jewish Question
In this paper, we explore Karl Mannheim's puzzling failure (or refusal) to address himself in any way to questions arising out of the position of Jews in Germany, either before or after the advent of Nazi rule-and this, notwithstanding the fact, first, that his own ethnic identification as a Jew was never in question and that he shared vivid experiences of anti-Semitism, and consequent exile from both Hungary and Germany, and, second, that his en…
Introduction to 'Soul and Culture
This introduction briefly places Karl Mannheim's 1918 lecture on the crisis in relations between 'subjective' and 'objective' culture in the context of Mannheim's negotiations with Georg Simmel's sociology of culture, as mediated by the young Mannheim's intimate ties to Georg Lukács and his circle

Women and the state
Käthe Truhel’s 1934 doctoral dissertation, prepared under the supervision of Karl Mannheim, repays detailed examination for a number of reasons. First, it serves as an important counter-example to commonplace generalities about the alleged incapacity of women social workers of Truhel’s generation, supposedly enmeshed in ideological myths about ‘motherliness’, to reflect on their power relations to a male-dominated society and state. Second, it of…
The Political Theory Question in Political Science, 1956-1967
Despite the postwar rise of behavioralism in political science, the Review gave surprising prominence to traditional political theory during Harvey C. Mansfield's ten-year term as editor (1956-1965), all the more striking for the prominence of Leo Strauss and his students during the first half of this period. This article considers several factors that help explain the surprising recognition given this subfield and its unexpected bargaining power
Adam Ferguson
The thought of Adam Ferguson generated great excitement among many of his philosophic contemporaries in the late eighteenth century, and it continues to inspire the modern reader. This major study by David Kettler is an ideal introduction to Ferguson's life and thought. The new introduction to this first paperback edition discusses Ferguson's work in relation to his better-known contemporaries David Hume and Adam Smith, while the afterword offers…

The recently discovered full text of Karl Mannheim's Habilitationsschrift on conservatism documents the interaction between his empirical and philosophical interests.

Their 'Own Peculiar Way
Mannheim's published works do not prepare scholars for the importance he attached to the study of women; and his origins in an intellectual milieu attracted to metaphysical dualisms adds interest to his attempted rapprochement with liberal feminism. This study explores a surprising parallel drawn by Karl Mannheim as teacher in the 1930s. Despite vital differences in their social genealogies, women and intellectuals both exemplify groups constitut…
Karl Mannheim's Sociology as Political Education
Rationalizing the Irrational
Sociological theory is ambivalent about the rationalizing processes of which it forms a part. This constitutive difficulty presents itself today in ways that have instructive parallels to the problem constellation confronting the first generation of 20th-century sociological classics. Karl Mannheim's Ideologie und Utopie (1929) was extraordinarily successful in Germany at the historical turning point of the Weimar Republic. This marks him as a re…

That typically German Kind of Sociology Which Verges towards Philosophy
The Reconstitution of Political Life
The deeply interested response to Mannheim's work among certain Weimar reformist socialists prompts a reconsideration of his political thought. The affinity between them arises out of similar conceptions of synthesis as a practical, provisional normalization of continuing oppositions rather than as a transcendent reconciliation of contradictions. In this respect, Mannheim's sociology of knowledge resembles the constitutional theories of such soci…

Contested Legacies
Temporizing with Time Wars
Karl Mannheim's orientations to time can be plotted between subjectivist and objectivist extremes. The latter corresponds to social engineering, while the former offers the context in which Mannheim uses Hobbes's primaeval war to imagine the chaotic struggle over time that he hopes to escape. Mannheim's distinctive achievement is 'dynamic sociology', an experimental approach marked by the recognition not only of historicity in social phenomena an…
Political Education for a Polity of Dissensus
The aim of this article is to state a case for Karl Mannheim as an interlocutor no less important than Michael Oakeshott for an inquiry into the manner and purpose of teaching politics. Beginning with Max Weber, I develop an account of Karl Mannheim as a prime contender for Weber's legacy in political education, along with two contemporaries, Albert Salomon and Hans Freyer, whose contrasting appropriations of the legacy will highlight important e…
Legal Formalism and Disillusioned Realism in Max Weber
Max Weber's thesis of the vital link between formal legal rationality and civilized power rests on considerations of prudence that remain compelling. Yet his resignation to injustice as part of an undifferentiated tragedy of existence goes too far in ignoring issues of social justice and democracy. This article seeks a more adequate approach by first explicating Weber's approach through his own discussion of Sancho Panza as exemplar of the hazard…
Culture and Revolution
Since the time of the German Romantics, “culture” has been a prime rallying cry of vocal groups hostile to modern society. Most broadly, the term is used to indicate a humanist, perhaps classical, style of life, wherein social relations are said to foster heroic virtues, where excellence is the target of aspirations, and reason, mind, soul, or spirit dominate other human attributes. More narrowly, proponents of “culture” mean those artistic and i…

Montesquieu on Love
Among students of political philosophy, Montesquieu is chiefly honored as author of The Spirit of the Laws . His earlier important work, The Persian Letters , is more often cited than read and is considered primarily as a collection of fragments, some of which may be useful for clearing up some disputed point or other in the interpretation of the magnum opus . In these notes I propose to treat it as a meaningful whole—as a book which in fact has …

A Note on the Aesthetic Dimension in Marcuse's Social Theory
0 REFLECT ONCE MORE on Herbert Marcuse and to think about his relevance for contemporary socialists, is to be struck by two contrasts between his work and the most recent socialist writing. First, there is Marcuse's focus on revolution. Marcuse thought differently at different times about the origins, character, and prospects of revolution, but he never wavered from the view that all understanding derives from a practice that is ultimately revolu…

Works community and workers' organization
Two types of recent contributions to the discussion of a ‘crisis’ in law recall issues in Weimar labour law.

The Weimar controversy over the extent to which ‘works-community’ supercedes the legal attribu…
