ABSTRACT

The Karl Mannheim's Ideologies and the Utopie, constitutes an attempt to analyse the foundation that Mannheim has provided there for sociology and the aspirations. Mannheim's disturbs the philosophy for the following reason: he argues that every intellectual expression is bound to a certain position, indeed, a political position, that Mannheim himself adopts none of these positions. The philosophy's claim is to be absolute that is challenged but it is valid in more specific situations. Sociology denies the possibility of an ontological interpretation of human existence, and it argues that the ontological structures of human existence to the extent that their immutability is beyond question are unessential and has no further concerns. Sociology considers the phenomenon that is unexplainable and sheds no further light on it. Sociology relegates the phenomena to the sphere of the irreducible which the philosophy is with the good reason and does not consider being transcendent at all.
