Karl Mannheim: Sociological Reflections on Intellectuals and the Crisis of Liberalism in Central Europe

Karl Mannheim is not only an exemplary Central European
intellectual and hybrid border crosser; he also developed a
variety of sociological concepts, such as world-view,
generation and intelligentsia, which are particularly useful to
describe the role of intellectuals and the crisis of liberalism
in Central Europe in the first half of the 20th century - and
maybe even the crisis Europe is facing today. Born into a
Jewish-bourgeois family in Budapest in 1893, Mannheim studied
in Hungary, Germany and France. In 1919, after the conservative
counter-revolution in Hungary, Mannheim left for Germany, where
he obtained his habilitation in Heidelberg in 1926 and became a
salaried professor in Frankfurt in 1930. Only three years
later, in 1933, he was forced to leave Nazi Germany for London,
where he died prematurely in 1947 at the age of 53. This essay
not only portrays Mannheim as a border crosser, but also
problematizes the concept of Central Europe as an intellectual
and cultural space.
