The Sociology of Karl Mannheim’s Knowledge and the Methodological Foundations of the History of Socio-Political Ideas by Alexander A. Chanyshev, Vasilisa A. Kuznetsova

“…In this case, however, criticism is not aimed at simplistically linear “exposure” of the social orientation of ideas, where the content of the latter is explained as a simple function of the author’s predilections and group interests that determine these predilections - and the desired source of the ideological content of the concept, therefore, can be found in the sphere of the “natural” action of common social causes. The critical analysis is focused on understanding the “existential” rootedness of ideas. …”
