General editor, C. K. Ogden. Preface by Louis Wirth. Translated from the German by Louis Wirth and Edward Shils. "In sharp contrast with contemporary literature which has talked about the "decline," "the crisis," and "the death," of western civilization, [this] works stands out as a silver, critical, and scholarly analysis of the social currents and situation of our time. Professor Mannheim analyzes Ideologies and Utopias as the main mental pattern underlying social action. Ideologies are mental fictions...Utopias are wish-dreams," (front flap).
