En savoir plus sur le livre

The book explores the evolution of the concept of ideology through the lens of Karl Mannheim, a key figure in sociology. Mannheim critiques the traditional view of ideology as mere distortion, advocating for a broader understanding that considers how social class, location, and generation shape beliefs. He introduces the idea of a general total conception of ideology, emphasizing that all perspectives, including those of social scientists, are context-dependent. While acknowledging the risks of relativism, he proposes relationism as a way to navigate these complexities in understanding knowledge.
