Abstract

The article examines the dispute between Karl Mannheim’s Sociology of Knowledge and the Critical Theory, and shows how both sociologies, who shared the same space in Frankfurt before 1933, actually share many common points. The author shows how both German sociologies defended similar paths especially in relation to the utopian consciousness before having to leave Germany after the advent of National Socialism.
